I gotta disagree (as usual lol). I think the keith Black hyperutectics are good pistons, and they sell a ton of them. On a naturally asperated motor for mostly street use, I can't see the sense in spending that much more money for a high end forged piston? Not to mention there are some atvantages to hyperutectics on a street motor, not the least of which is the ability to run tighter clearances which give you better ring seal and longer ring life (piston doesn't rock in the bore as much).
The difference between the Keith Blacks at $222.00 and a set of Ross Forgings at $513.00 is $291 bucks ... add another $69 bucks to your $291.00 savings and you have enough to get your cca-k31-226-3 cam kit (cam, lifters, valve springs, retainers, locks, stem seals and timing chain set with instructions !)
Unless you're building a race car where only the best will do, its all about value! Thats how well it fits your application verses cost. Think hard because if down the road you decide to supercharge it or pour the N2O to it then the best value would be to get the forgings now. IMHO
