TMI Pistons?
I am wanting to overhaul my 400. It is gonna have stock heads and .30 overbore. Which would make it a 408? Only thing I am doing extra is cam, timing set, intake, carb. What pistons from TMI would be best for my application? Dish, flat? I seen some of his pistons say the rod needs to be bushed out larger, I dont want to fool with that. What would be the best piston for the money? Im gonna go with a weiand intake holley 650 carb, comp 265deh cam. Would this make a decent motor? How do I go about ordering pistons. Have the block bored .30 first then have the machine shop tell me the exact piston I need. So would I have to have pistons custom made?
Another question, incase I find different heads. Me finding aussies and affording them is probably not gonna happen. What cleveland head is better than the stock 2v and what piston would best go with them?

On his site I think He has three different pistons and with the stock heads the compression will Be something close to
Stock type dish 8.2 to 1
Flat top (slightly milled) 9.4 To 1
Unmilled flattop 11.0 to 1
For street performance you would want the middle ones.
Just look at his site and you will see his phone #
