Victory racing built my Forged 383 with Diamond pistons, setup includes 216 chamber LE LT4 AFR heads and a D1SC with about 15lbs of boost. Mine will work fine.

No, that guy is a jackass and is the reason my motor needs rebuilt.

Matt Hornbuckle aka "Bull" is the one at Performance Eng,his dad bought it about 4 yrs ago.

I would highly recommend going with a JE piston. I am not conviced or impressed with Diamond pistons. I have seen at least two failures both on forced induction applications.

Hmmm...I may go ahead and spend the extra coin and buy JE pistons. Thanks for the feedback that's why I made this post.
