Define what makes a piston "better".

I am not trying to be a smart ass...but this is a legitament question. If you would ask all of the name brand makers such as JE, Diamond, Wiesco, CP, Mahle they would all say "Ours are better".

The application must be considered. Cast may be better for the street; forged, obviously is better for high HP and forced induction. But what differentiates forged pistons from each other.

Weight is a consideration. Lighter is better....but can you get it too light?

The strength of material and type of rings and features is also important.
