Are you positive you have a 306 with stock pistons?

306 should be .030 over pistons.

Well if you have a fox 85-92 you should already have forged pistons.

cost effective yet still great quality = speed-pro (federal mogul, formally trw forgings)
stepping up into something thats going to be lighter you can go with SRP or JE

as for rods, almost any aftermarket I beams with 3/8 bolts should be ok, but H beams are even better.

Diamond Racing Pistons are awesome but very expensive, i love em. I have forged I-beam's, and like them, less weight to make engine spin faster.
