What ever you decide to do its labor intensive and if you've not done it, well its a lot of work. Since Ted is actually tuning your car now I think I would have a talk with him on what to do also. I doubt he will say replace just one piston, I could be wrong but he's not a band aid guy for sure.
This... inspect the cylinder. If you need to pull it, do it right and do the WHOLE enchilada....Pull the motor and 8 new forged pistons
