Talking Need Help on choosing a set of forged pistons for my N/A 5.3 build

First time posting in this group, Im trying to build a 500hp (to the flywheel of course), 5.3 gen 4, I have the whole motor teared down and I am starting to look at the different parts I should get and I am trying to start from the bottom up. I want to put forged internals to bulletproof the motor and always have that mental thought of them not failing, but I need some advice on which ones to get? (Im 19 and this is my first REAL ls build) any advise would be very helpful.

summit racing has some nice forged piston/rod kits that are great for the money. tell more about your plans so people here can get a better idea, like n/a or turbo or blower or nitrous , whats it going in, what is it going to be used for ? 500 will be tough n/a, 500 will be easy with some psi. ( edit i just re read it, you said n/a so either stroke the 5.3 or sell it and start with a 6.0, you can make a nice 370 with forged rod/piston kit .30 over and stock crank on that 6.0)
