Keep in mind the S1 and S2 pistons are not the same. The topic author has a S1. Those vendors may or may not support the S1 (which has two different pistons depending on year).

The least expensive pistons are Sealed Power (Dana) replacement pistons, available in overbores, and they are coated like the GM stock pistons.

So, in the forged catagory, nobody is making a S1 as a catalog item. Based on the quotes I received for custom pistons, the price on a set of forged S1'* would be in the $800 range.
