The term "piston slap" has to do with piston skirt height and piston to cylinder clearance; and the "slapping" of the piston's skit on the cylinder wall which makes the audible noise. Not sure what the OP is after here.

I think OP should step away from "old school" practices and research more on LS platforms.
Why? Because unless this is a very specific application, we do not practice "dome pistons" for street and thick gaskets. They surely contradict each other and are more prone to detonation.
