Shovelhead Pistons and Rings

I am rebuilding an 80" Shovelhead motor and was wondering if anyone has any suggestions on pistons and rings? I am looking for advice on manufacture and clearances. Any other help is also appreciated.
Thank you, Mike

I used the 9.5:1 Wiseco pistons along with a Macho cam from Rivera Primo. With a set of pipes with baffles and an S&S Super E carb, this bike ran good. I do not see the Macho cam listed in the latest catalog. If you are interested in this cam, you may want to call them and get some specs or see if they still sell this cam. Good luck.
