Default Lookin for a new set up!

Sup folks well I have a tsp 408 I got awhile back about 5yrs ago and well I've been thinking about going witha new set up. As far as set up I mean like new higher rotating assembly and some good pistons that can stand about a 300 shot of nitrous !
My current set up is
A tsp 408
With eagle rods and eagle crank
Diamon -2cc pistons
L92/ls3 heads with 64cc
If I recall correctly compression is around 11:6 or 11:8

So I'm thinking about going up to the mid 12 in compression and like I stated above with a 300shot of juice!

Any type of pistons y'all recommend or should I stick to my diamond pistons ?
I was looking into the lunati crank and lunati pro series I beam rods!
.

Let me know ur ideas fellas!

I don't see anything wrong with running a 300 shot on what you have now.

Going up in compression will require the use of race gas and if you are going to go that route just skip 12 and go 13.5:1. Going from 11.8 to 12.5 will just be a waste.

I say stay pump gas compression. Get a standalone and pill it up!!
