Default Cobra rods and pistons into GT

If I were to put 99-01 cobra rods and pistons in a 2000 gt, would it be able to hold up to 300rwhp N/A setup? Also what would the compression be with these pistons? If I were to put xe270ha cams in, would something need to be done to the pistons to make sure the valves won't hit them?

Thanks

only the cobra crank is forged, not the rods and pistons.
