about the cobra thing, that a much bigger engine. guess iono what compression ratio each engine has, but doesnt it seem like the honda would be higher and it'd be easier on the bigger engine witht the same amount of boost?

again factory forged pistons and forged pistons you buy from cp, je, etc... are metallurgically different from the forging to the material. you can not compare facatory forged to aftermarket forged.

Keep in mind our motors have FRM cylinder walls, and unless you sleeve it, you can't run any old piston ( a common mistake, as people think you can put Je's or wiseco's in them) without a coating. Only one piston manufacturer iknow of makes a piston with the coating, because they also make all the stock pistons for porsche (also have FRM) so if you want to build it with stock walls, get MAHLE pistons
