Due to a FPR vacuum line, I lost 3 .020" diamond pistions at 30 psi. Here is the thread:

Block is now going 30 over, and I'm in the market for a fresh set of pistons.
I have since read that diamonds have a weakness towards the edge of the valve reliefs, and thats where mine let go. Are there stronger pistons out there? I'm not too concerned with weight and would like to keep compression in the mid 8's. Going to run at 30 psi+ and run a cometic HG with home ported irons. Running stock stroke CAT forged cranks and K1 rods. Overall goal of the motor is to dip into the 9's in street trim.
My tune should get alot better now that I went with Turbotweaks SD chip.
Thoughts?
