S/C forged pistons

Ok so I'm building a motor. I have forged rods already but I'm in need of pistons! What cc of dish if any do I get? I know I'm getting forged and 0.20 over Mahle or Manley.

Need more info. What cc are the heads, what CR are gunning for? What size motor are you building? 2,3 or 4 valve? Hell is it even a Ford motor your building????Give us some kind of a clue.

If it is a modular motor I would suggest you give Manny a call. He knows his stuff and has great prices. http://www.mhpengines.com

Sorry bout that! I usually post in the 97-03 forum. I'm building a 2 valve, 5.4 with stock but port matched heads with beefed up springs. As for CR not sure what I should be shooting for. I'm going to be running about 10psi.

Well at just 10psi you could run up to 10:1 on the CR. Although 9.5:1 would allow you to run more timing.

What form of forced induction?

Personally I would run 9:1 CR and up the boost along with some cams.

I've got a procharger setup. I'm not looking to make insane high horsepower just enough to pull my quads easier and have a little fun but safe.

with the Procharger you'll want 9.5-10:1 as previously posted

What's the difference in gaskets? Are the supercharged ones MLS? Going to get studs as well!
