Default Future piston recommendation for f/i

What would be a good piston recommendation for a 408 for lets say a procharged f1a ... currently my 408 has -2cc diamond pistons..my old compression was 11:8:1 .. with prc ls3 heads.. so now im tossin up the idea of a procharged motor in a 2001 trans am. .. so anyways back to piston choice should i go flat or dish? Hopefully if i resuse my eagle stroker crank and rods it will hold up to the punishment.

I think you could use the crank, rods, and the same pistons. You could even keep the heads and 11.8:1 compression if you use E85 fuel and a custom spec'ed blower cam.
