Default Build thread need help

Ok so here's where I'm at I have a 6.0 iron block it's fresh and needs some forged internals.i also have a brand new set of l92 heads. My plans are to have a 500hp n/a and 700 on spray I need help deciding pistons and also what type of head work needs to be done as far as milling. Any help would be appreciated. The rods are going to be eagle h beams and eagle 4340 crank just need a good piston heads cam setup to get the power I need and more also the car will be carbed

I'm no expert but I like to recommend wiseco pistons because they are fair priced and great quality and for N/A 500hp should be fairly easy to accomplish with a 6.0 with h beams and a great crank I would recommend flat tops with a good set of valve reliefs for ptv clearance so you can keep the compression decent without having to mill them new heads and you should be able to run a good size cam but I'm not a cam guru so you'll have to ask that question also

A set of mahle flat tops with some 243 heads, custom cam, the norm. Will get 500. Than you can gap the rings for a 300 shot.
