You would want to do the ge rebuild kit. If you do the gte and it comes with pistons itll be lower compression which will cause the car to have less power.

Now if you plan to turbo charge the car the lower compression isn't a bad idea, but you will have low power until you turbo the car.

Really shouldn't need to change pistons in a ge unless the piston to wall clearance is excessive.

Other wise just use ge pistons. Everything else is basically the same but just stick to the ge set.
