I found a 406, 10.1 speed pro hypers, eagle I beams, stock crank, I really dont care for hyper pistions, should i be worried about the pistions or do i worry to much. I play on a solid cam around 244/252 i have iron eagle 215, i do have a nitrous system, would it live with 100 shot at most?

For a street cruiser, i'd not be worried.
iron 244/252 cam, Eagle 215s, and nitrous.....sounds a bit more serious....
Go forged and not worry if it is gonna grenade

I've had great success with hyper's but as soon as the word boost or nitrous or very high rpm comes up I start lookin at the forged catalog.

I am thinking 6200 rpm max, nitrous would only be once in awhile.

That's right....the rest of the time you may be digging the pieces of the shattered pistons out from your oil pan if it detonates....:D
