Please help 383 engine build

Hello again,

Was a long time member on here and on fbody.com (91_GTA)

College and life happened but finally made my way back to the car world and just starting the process of building my 383 stroker.

I need help selecting pistons ASAP !

The block goes in for tanking and machining next week so I have from
Now till next week to get pistons.

Obviously trying to save as much money as possible. This is what I got so far

350 roller (1-pc)
Pro-Liner 195cc & 64cc aluminum heads (bare)
6" forged rods

Trying to find a nice forged piston for what I need.

Goals= 383 stroker 500 horse, 150-200 wet shot

Spoke with my engine guy he suggested staying away from speedpro and wasn't to impressed with DSS pistons.

So started checking eBay and found these any idea if they are decent ? What kinda compression will these roughly put me at ??

Any advice helps !! Thanks !!

Forgot to add I'm trying to be at 10.1-10.75 compression ratio to be on the safe side as this will be on 93 pump gas
