Re: rods and pistons
CP pistons and Crower or Pauter rods for high boost. If you are only running low boost, less than 20 pounds then you should be able to get away with Eagle rods , though I have ssen them pushed well past that.

Re: rods and pistons
I'm running 18psi on oem usdm gsr pistons and rods. If you plan on boosting high crower or pauter rods would be my choice. Any forged pistons will do really.

Re: rods and pistons
Forged all the way 
Eagle rods are at a good price +1
Plus they increases the connecting rod bolt size +1
You can also get custom rod length to ease the strain on the motor +1
(When investigating my build I found the custom set of rods was only +$60)
Endyn makes wonderful pistons +1
