Check with Jak Stoll (a regular, "Jak" on here) or Nick Taliaferro, another regular here. There are a few options, the JE pistons are not bad pricewise, but labor will be more than parts. There are also a few other things you may want to do "while you're in there". 540 whp is 650 at the crank... at a rough guess, that will cost more than $10,000. Then, you will need a very upgraded transmission to cope. You may also want to consider some serious suspension and brake upgrades before you get anywhere near that kind of horsepower. Even the stock Viggen had torque steer...
