Custom piston sources

Can anyone suggest suppliers for (decent) custom pistons?

I am helping a friend rebuild his 944 16V which spun a bearing after several 
of the teeth from the timing chain sprockets were ripped off the 
cams...meandering all throughout the engine internals...ugly... Anyway, when 
all is said and done we're gonna need 20 over pistons.  So far we've 
contacted Wiseco and they are looking at 16 weeks turn around time... Any 
other good suppliers out there?

...while thinking about pistons, I was thinking it would be nice to up the 
C/R in the CGT slightly.  I've got the 2144cc motor.  It only has about 15k 
miles on it right now... I've milled the head, and am running a schrick cam 
w/ stock pistons.  The dish seems shallow enough that I could maybe run very 
shallow to flat pistons with pockets cut in them...  Hafta look into a knock 
sensor and idiot light too I guess if going to different pistons...  Any 
experience out there on this?

TIA,
Alan
