Those JE's look very nice! Might want to check for reluctor wheel clearance, though.

The only problem with a lightened piston is they remove weight from the "meat" usually. Less mean, will mean easier burn through.

I put Diamond flat tops (with 2cc reliefs) in my forged built LS motor. It seen many big *** H/C setups and even a turbo setup with not a problem.
