Default What piston dish?

My heads have 62cc chambers. I didn't think I wanted any dish. But the smallest dish Mahle has is -4cc. Will this be too much? I kinda wanna keep compression up. BTW its a 346 not a stoker or anything.

with the mahle's its not an actual dish, but two valve reliefs. i got mine today. if you need more compression after you use these pistons, just check your piston to valve clearance and mill the heads accordingly. thats what i am gonna do with the Forged 348ci i am building.

just use a compression ratio calculator online, and if it's not enough compression get a smaller gasket, or like moe said mill the heads. or try to get a shorter deck clearance or taller compression height
