Default wtb pistons/bearings. what should i buy?

i have a 99transam, it has two years of racing on the motor, but i want to freshen the motor up cuz it has 157,000 miles. the car has gone 10.82@128, and is just starting to smoke on the decell,(very,very minimal). i was thinking about changing the bearings, and possible changing the pistons to forged so i can spray more than a 125 shot. on a budget, so does anyone know a good inexpensive piston and bearing kit. and do i have to change the rods?

i also have prc stage 2.5 heads and a .643 lift cam (torquerv3). dont know if that matters on the piston choice due to clearance.

Scoggins Dickey were the best on price for me. I got a set of forged Mahle pistons and rings for my 383 build. Better price than my machinist could! They have stock replacement sizes, too. Check them out. Quality organization - never one problem!!
