need help on what pistons to go with. Well I have a stock ls1 with a mild cam and some patriot 243 ls6 heads, and I'm looking to forge the bottom end to take a good shot of nitrous but don't know exactly what pistons specifications to go with or what they mean such as flat top or dish, _2cc valve relief? And so on...... so if someone could help and explain this a little I would appreciate it. Thanks

Yes the hone will pick you up an extra cubic inch. I also say Wiseco pistons. They have a 3.903 bore" 3.2cc valve relief piston that comes with a nice steel top ring/napier 2nd that can handle a lot of nitrous. Pair it up with a nice rod and an ARP main stud kit and you should be good to go.

ok well I already have 59cc heads and don't really want to mill the heads so would -2cc valve relief get me to 10.8-1 or 11.0-1 compression with 59cc heads? Thanks again for the info
