About a year ago I went through the same thing on my 70 Cuda. I went pretty tame on mine and it still Dyno'd around 390 HP. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQzcBniEGkAProbe Pistons +12 Comp Cams .462/.470 lift with 110 lobe separation and hydraulic lifters Compression came out to about 9.1:1 if I remember correctly. Eddie 750 Carb The only thing "special" we did was open up the stock heads using the Mopar porting templates. I also chose the Edelbrock Performer intake since its lighter and flows a little better. Very reliable, good manners, smooth and easy to tune.

I'd move this post to the Racing/Engine Tech forum if I were you. You'll get great advice. You might answer these questions in your post too. Compression ratio? Size valves/head work you're doing? HP exhaust manifolds or log type? Rear gear ratio? Do you want a cam with a little lope to it or relatively stock at idle? The guys on this site really helped me on my engine and I learned a ton, albeit mine is a little more aggressive build.
I’m listening.

How much do you want to spend and what do you want to do with it? Any piston with a 2.05-2.06 compression height will do well. As for cam if you don't care and want a street engine I'd run Bob Ks grind and have a little bowl work done on the heads.
I run Wiseco Pro Tru forged pistons and scat H beams. These would put you around 9.3 with a standard Fel Pro .039 gasket, and around 9.75 with a steel shim gasket with an 88 CC combustion chamber (stock 906) once they square your decks. Pistons are around 5-6 bills with a ring kit and pins and weigh 525 grams without the pins, they're really nice light pieces. They're full floaters. The Scat H beams run around 4 bills.
