Piston choice: hyper or forged???

Hi Guys,

i have to choose which Pistons i use in my engine.

Specs: 408 SB, 75 % street driven in a 68`Valiant, target is 400-450 HP, no nitrous use planned, max engine speed 6000 rpm. Compression will be around 10:1 with dished Pistons and magnum heads.

So which Piston would you use? Hypereutectic or Forged for this build?

Ok, the hypers are cheaper. And i´m a little concerned about the bigger clearance forged pistons need, does it create a big noise?

Otherwise the forged ones are stronger - better for future upgrades?

How much horsepower can a hypereutectic Piston handle?

Maybe you can give me some information about the pros and the cons, thank you!

regards

Michael
