manley piston 11 cc dish best bang for the buck or a nice ross piston stay away from kb and mahle. not crazy about diamond unless you do alot of upgrades.
if you are gonna buy a piston you should also resize cylinders with torque plate. I can get you what ever you need at a competetive price and can point you in right direction
chris im gonna send you a pm dude in a min...just a quick question but what does the 03 cobras have for stock pistons? and wernt they in a couple of other cars?
You need to pay close attention to the piston to wall clearance ,or the pistons will fail no mater what brand they are . Ask anybody who does back to back racing rounds with the 03,04 cobra setup pushing boost .

that is why i recomend resizing cylinders with a torque plate. size cylinder to piston. staying with a stock bore you are stuck with what you have. unless for some crazy reason it is to tight.
If you want it built right send the block to Modular Performance in MI. They are the best when it comes to mod motor builds. Bob Pucil @ CE Racing was the best in MA for that stuff, but unfortunately he died this year. You could try ABT machine in Holliston though. They did all Bob's machine work. Mod motor blocks have to be torque plated to be done properly.
yes unfortunatly bob passed this year and i've been talking to chris ( C3 auto machine) and he will most likely be the one to machine my block for me and torque plate it if needed...for customer service and details id reccomend chris ive been talking to him the past few days hes great with answering questions and giving pricing for parts or labor....so far A+ for C3 auto machine
Thanks for the kind words. i Try to take care of the members mon here. If Interested you can check out some of my work on my facebook page. Ill try to update more when i can.http://www.facebook.com/pages/C3-Automotive-Machine/231584144298
