Not sure how you can change a piston and not need to balance the rotating assembly unless the replacement piston is the exact same weight of the pistons that were balanced into the crank originally. Please enlighten me, I would like to learn?
That is exactly what the deal is.. these pistons were designed by DAve Webber who made them the exact weight of the stock pistons.

Balmar what do you think the cause of the broken rod was?
Stock parts in an abusive environment. It wasnt the bolts that let Loose as the big end was still attached to the crank. The motor let go at 6000 rpm. No sign of valve float.

Still strange... stock parts letting go at 6000 rpms.. not a common occurrence.

i believe the 6.1 comes w forged pistons and rods.
no the 6.1 is only a forged crank, the pistons are not great for anything other than N/A and the rods are powdered.

Nice build! I run 6psi with a procharger. These new hemis are pretty fun. Good luck with the build, 10psi with that cam is alot more air then 10psi stock. You need to post some vids of that beast in your hot rod running. It's going to be wild
