Recommendation for Forged Pistons and Connecting Rods

I track and agree with both of you guys for the most part but accuracy and precision are two different things.
As much money as this thing is costing I want to lean towards more precise and retain flexibility. I can be accurate at around 10.25 to 1 and may or may not have serious head gasket issues but if I scale it back to a known quantity on compression and put a fire ring in with a quality compressed copper gasket I'm more able to play with the boost for hp gains instead of starting at a point where there is already a questionable compression ratio for the type of engine it is - thereby reducing flexibility.

Building this thing doesn't make sense anyway-- buying a late model swap in with all types of those bells and whistles is a helluva lot smarter but I wanted to build something different with my son. And it sure is different than just throwing a big block in an A body like I've already done.
