Does anyone know where to get some forged pistons for the 1uz other than Ross?

I know who has the hook up on JE, but they're more expensive.

I've seen some guys using the wiseco, so I guess they must be available as a custom deal from them.

Basically I am trying to find out what else is out there besides Ross, I am not sure I like the way their valve reliefs are cut in and the amount of metal left above the first ring land.

The valve reliefs are a definite concern. It's nothing a skilled engine builder can't remove though. The matieral thicknesses seem fairly stout from the top ring land to the crown.
