Cummins turbo powered EFI 300 six

I have a turbo charged 300 inline in my f150 I been working on it for about 2 years off and on since I have been going to school however I am on my 3rd rebuild for the reason that I keep on cracking my cast pistons its the only thing that I have skimped on in the past. But I'm getting ready to put it back together once again just waiting on some funds to by forged pistons everything else has worked excellent.I purcahsed off a friend an 06 powerstroke innercooler that does fit with minor fabricating it streches from the top of the core support all the way to the bottem of my bumper. I used a vortech 12.1 FMU to increase my fuel pressure also I purchased a holley high output inline fuel pump that will not work with the stock sending unit so I also bought a fuel cell. I swapped out the stock grey injectors for the orange ones that I had laying around out of a windsor motor. I pulled both stock tanks out and spliced an 8 gauge speaker wire in all the way from the pump wich is at the back of the truck right up to the relay and then from there to the battery by doing this it was the diference between night and day. So i'm using a turbo off a 95 cummins which in my thoughts is way to big because I keep on having over boost problems 28lbs!! so with those turbos there is a vain down the middle of it and i'm hoping by machining that vain out that my wastgate will blow off more of that exhaust. I also bought that msd 6btm which I dont realy think does anything because it runs better at 0 degrees of retard but I will screw with that a little more when I get it running in this next month. I aslo had ARP make me head stud, rod bolts, and main studs for the engine. and I bought COMPS biggest cam that they made for the truck which was 456lift with 10 degrees of lobe seperation. I recomed that if anyone who wants to try this stick to a manuall trans because I spent way to much money hopping up that E40D peice of crap although it works excellent now I wish I would have done five speed swap.

So I was wondering if anyone knows a place were I can get pistons for under $600.00 I'f so I would be much appreciative.
Oh yeah lightnings are slow!!!
I do have a short clip of me doing a burn out that my buddy took using his camera phone so its not the best but it still tells the story.

I would love to see some pics of your setup. I would also like to know how much hp you estimate it at?

Check Sealed Power part# L2419F20. That should be a forged .020 over piston for the carbed 300. Price when I last looked them up was around $60 per piston.
