Running a 400 big block? ?Then whats your combination?

I am getting a new 400 big block and have two options.
Run the stock pistons and cut the head for compression OR put a better piston in the engine.
The more i think about it, i will most likely put a better piston and cam in the engine.
But i am wondering if anybody here has built a 400 and how it performed for them.
If you have a 400 big block combination then please let me know how it worked for you.
Please list your combination. THANKS.:iconbigg:
