you will be limited to the amount of boost you can run with a flat top piston. best to try and get a hold of some dish pistons with more -cc's

Well I had planned on running 317 heads and ls9 gaskets I figured it would take the compression down enough to run some good boost numbers. Anyone have some boost pistons they would liketo trade mine r brand new in box. Wouldn't mind havin some 6.0 pistons but it's whatever

Those pistons will be fine to make decent power on with a good tune.

With a good tune they will be fine at that power level.
