Wiseco and Diamond both make great pistons. You already have springs and I'm sure pushrods, so what do you mean when you say "new valvetrain"? Why in the heck are you talking about milling your heads when you're adding boost? You're going the opposite direction with your static compression by doing that. Changing the heads to a 72cc aftermarket heads would be a good choice for controlling your compression, but if you're getting pistons, you simply select the pistons you need for your application.
