That's the one I have on my 383 stroker Cleveland. Nice piece; SFI rated.

Take the money you were going to spend on those domed pistons and buy a set of closed chamber heads. You'll get more bang for the buck (pun intended) - Better flame propagation, increased compression, and less likely to ping than open chamber heads. And if your budget allows, get a set of aluminum heads for even better results. When I priced R&Ring my original open chamber heads I found that I could get Edelbrock aluminum heads for only a few hundred dollars more. Now you have even more options for aluminum heads - TrikFlow, AFR or AFD, CHI, etc.
If you stay with your open chamber heads, you MUST replace your valves. The original Ford valves are a 2-piece design that are friction welded together. They've been known to come apart and drop the head of the valve into the cylinder with disastrous results.

How dose It compare with the George recommended custom cam grind he calls the Cobra Jet profile with the Johnson HT900 hydraulic lifters from Bullet Racing Cams?
I don't recall the specs on the Cobra Jet cam George recommends, but I think it's pretty close to the hydraulic roller I put into my engine. One thing to note about that Lunati cam kit you mentioned above is that it has a 108 LSA, which is pretty narrow, so you will need a good free-flowing exhaust system. Just something to be aware of. I'm sure others with more knowledge will comment on whether that cam will get you to the power level you're seeking.
