piston and ring options?

i'm starting to collect parts for my newest engine build, an eg33
instead of another 388ci sbc, should be assembling it soon.
should be about n/a 500hp.
the 388 that is.
anywho for the 3.3 i'm thinking i'd like to put in new pistons.
guessing the 1st overbore, what's that .025?
what are the options?
i see ecutune has lo comp, but i want as much compression as i can get.
knock sensor will take care of any octane issues.
small car parts has rings and the header flange i'm gonna need.
i haven't even opened up this engine i've got but from the looks of the oil
i drained
so i just wondering if anyone had seen/heard of any other options?
i've still gotta check to see if total seal makes a gapless ring set.
and then if i can get durashield rod/main bearings
now that would be dope!
btw i'm not looking to make mad power w/ the eg33.
just a lil more across the revs and better fuel economy?
i'm getting 24mpg, consistently, now.
yes i've read rallybob's build which is more rad than i'm lookin to get.
