Piston of choice.....

Well I ordered my forged 3.75 eagle crank and 5.7 rods from CNC motorsports. Nice prices may I add. Any way as you can see I am building a 383 and I not sure what pistons to run. I will be using stock ported heads and hot cam set up. I want to keep C/R around stock level because I will be running 94 octane. Can any one recommend a forged piston and ring set up. The car has to pass emissions. I am looking ot make around 350-400 rwhp. and hopefully more in the future.

Thanks
Kevin

The hotcam is going to kill you. You can get up to around 12:1 compression and still run regular fuel.
