Default approximate compression with these pistons? Mahle dished

link to tsp

I have was wondering what kind of compression those would yeild with a set of ls1 heads, 853 castings.

What do you guys think about the Mahle products? Any1 molested them with a 300+ shot of nitrous? I was looking at these and just wondered how they would fare. I'de actually like a flat top but I have heard that compression is way up there with a flat top piston(12:1 and more) but I could be happy with that.

With a stock chamber and a stock 6.0 liter gasket you would have approx.10.4:1 considering the compression height of those will net you .005" in the hole or so depending on block deck height.Mahle's are sexy bitches I don't think they would have a problem with a 250-300 either..they are light little suckers too!
