why are you wanting a forged piston for a "mild" na build? i don't see any aftermarket stuff outperforming a stock piston in that instance. esp if you are planning on keeping the compression so low.
id be looking to see what it takes to use a stock LT1 piston in your case.

Stock piston won’t work with the L8t crank, but you are correct that a cast hyper piston would suffice for what I want to do.
There are plenty of 4032 offerings from mahle and others for the 3.780 bore engines that use the stock rod. The stock rods are stronger than most people give them credit for.
Not sure how 11.5 is low comp, but then again I remember when 9.5 was the top end for a pump gas build.
