Need some advice on choosing pistons and milling heads I need to hear some oppinions on what pistons and how much if any milling I would need for my combo. I have Stage II Livernois LS6 heads that are unmilled at 64cc. These heads flow 305cfm intake and 235 exhaust at .600 lift. I also have a Fast 90/NW tb that I plan to get ported as well as a futral motorsports F13 cam. I'm wanting to rebuild my 01 LS1 with new bearings, rods, pistons,and use the stock crank. I'm probly gonna go with scat 6.125 ibeams because they're cheap and relatively strong. I need help choosing pistons. I like the mahles because they're coated and they come with the rings. I want this motor to be able to run on 93 octane. What are your thoughts as far as milling the heads and piston selection.

As far as milling goes you don't HAVE to do it, but higher compression would bump up your torque.
You might run into PTV issues, but since you are re-doing the motor you could just get some pistons with valve reliefs already in them.
