Drop-In Pistons

Looking to get some drop ins for my SS to go turbo charged.
Looking for best best for the buck, I'm starting with 8psi and go up to 10 or 12 to finish.
I had a Syclone with 21 psi (thats why I think I'll be able to stay around 12 psi) but never upgraded anything in the engine so I'm not sure who has the best stuff and what was good back then isn't the same as now.

So My question is.

Which drop-ins should I go with and why should I go with them?

All the help will be greatly appreciated

P.S. So right now I have a stock automatic 17 SS. Huron speed twin turbo kit. Looking at the holly low-rise with port injection set up with TOOHIGHPSI port injection kit with BOSCH Extended 800cc/min injectors (- the plates). LT4 in-tank fuel pump and E85 flex kit. And HP Tuner with all the credits

The GPI drop in piston/rod set is usually the most recommended but I believe some of the pieces are on back order or were when I last looked. I just got Texas Speed's drop in piston/rod combo and it's really nice. Something else I would highly recommend while you're in there is deleting the DOD and putting a cam in. On BTR's recommendation I went with their stage 1 turbo cam and VVT lock out.

I also plan to add the Toohighpsi port injection like you. I'm something I'm a little confused on is if you're planning to run a low rise and the plate kits? I'm debating between the ultra lo ram and mast has a port add on lt2 intake available.

Another vote for the GPI drop-ins. Been hitting them harder than a stolen ATM card for nearly 4 years.

Im planning on buying the HOLLEY LO-RAM MANIFOLD KIT AND PORT INJECTION FUEL RAILS - GM GEN V LT Part #300-718BK instead of the plates in hopes that it looks a little better under the hood with a little extra power from the longer/straighter runners.

Vengeance racing also makes a nice drop in piston rod kit.
