I stand corrected. That's reasonable custom piston cost if you are say doing a custom stroker or bore.
I'm ARP / Damper / Oil Pump etc invested as well. I'd like to "set it and forget it" for a long time once she is built.

Every piston manufacture has options over there stock line of pistons. FM includes some of these options. Wiesco makes a piston based off of a stock piston and computer modeling. FM takes that and refines it through real world testing and calls it there own. Your getting a custom weisco piston rebranded as FM.
That being said, my off the shelf ones held 460whp just fine

I went back and forth with the same dilemma. I just couldn't justify the extra cost. I also noticed when I was looking Wiesco off the shelf pistons didn't have reliefs in the skirts for oil squirters. I don't believe super tech had notches either. I was also told by one machine shop that I should delete the squirters. I came to the conclusion i wanted to keep mine. After talking with a few people with built motors I decided on JE. I haven't found anything bad about Je's and the skirts are notched for squirters.
