i would call dss and have them send you the same pistons but low compression if your doing a supercharger.

What's wrong with the rods that you already have?

I'm with Steve, order a new set of dished pistons if you are worried about your compression ratio, get the assembly rebalanced, and slap it back together.

As far as what your old stuff is worth, it's hard to say what you can get for it, but used parts usually sell for .50 cents on the dollar.
