I would not use less than .200 for the punishment you plan on putting it through and that is only if you are coating them! That is where I ran into problems but Arias got it right on the second 10. I have the cam. If I could only get a chassis to put it in......
No pistons yet. Waiting on exhaust valves so I can cc the heads and get my final piston specs. I swapped to a later casting head a few weeks ago and I don't have the cc size of the chambers.

I know mine will also use the buttons. My crank turned out OK, it's getting a new heat treat and will be back in a couple weeks.
