Thinking about which pistons to buy form my BJ8 rebuild. 'Generic' sets run about $400 and look OK--as if you can tell by looking at pictures--and the top-of the line appear to be Denis Welch's forged pistons (at nearly a grand$). Are the forged ones worth it? Also, most 'stock' sets are 5-riing, and the DWR are 3. Obviously, the 3-ring would have less friction/drag than the 5-ring, but would the difference be significant in a mostly stock street car? 

Also, any recommendations on brands or suppliers? 

TIA, 
Bob
