So the next challenge will be either custom pistons, or getting some big dome off the shelf pistons and milling the heads and fitting the domes to the chamber to get the compression up.

I am torn between 14:1 plus, or a bit lower compression and better flame travel. I would like to get both, but I am not sure I can. Anyone have any input regarding this?

You might want to pay attention to the modifications made to these heads in this thread. I realize you race at higher altitude, but 13.1 will make plenty of power.
