Well, a max effort 390 isn't necessarily "max effort" with only 10:1 compression, but Ross makes a nice relatively lightweight set (P/N 99601). These ought to provide 10:1 with your heads. Here's the web site:
http://www.rosspistons.com/items.php?Custom=N&ItemTypeID=33

For "real" max effort you could round up a set of domed pistons (racing gas). I sold a set of no longer produced TRW L2292F 12:1 pistons less than a year ago. I'm sure you can still find them around if you look hard and long enough. Of course Ross or other piston makers could probably whip up a set of 12:1's also.

As a side note, I just happen to have a "how-to" video on building a low 12 second 390 Mustang. The title is: "Mustang, Mild to Wild". It's an older video and may not be available anymore... It's more of a sales pitch for selected parts than anything, but is interesting and does show a few actual 12 second runs of the car.
