Did you do anything to the Heads, Head Gaskets, change the Deck Height?

as long as you didnt do anything with the heads, and change the deck hight, you should be fine with 7.400s. The only true way to know, is do what was already mentioned and get PR checker.

As far as the brand, just go with some hardened PR's from thunder racing, or texas-speed.
