Default Will The Piston Wack??

Well I Am Going To Start The Assembly Of My Engine Again? Now With A Bigger Cam And Head Work. Last Cam 224 228 581 581 112 And All Bolt Ons I Made 394 Rwhp And 389 Rwtq. Now I Am Going With Worked Heads Milled .030 And A 232/240 597/609 112lsa Cam And Other Little Goodies Like Nitrous And All The Extra Junk. All In All Will The Piston Wack??? I Know I Will Have To Degree The Cam, I DEGREED My Other Cam So I Am Familiar. But I Just Want To Know If Anyone Has Gone That Big With Milled Heads. Thanks Guys And Or Girls

is it ok to fly cut the piston since im spraying 150 i mean i know the pistons are already weaker then hell and taking more material off wouldnt help out at all. i think since everything is apart i am just going to get forged pistons with 7cc valve reliefs how does that sound or is that a dumb idea.

since the motor is apart then yes i'd go forged pistons over flycutting the stock ones. though i'd go w/ 2cc valve reliefs over the 7cc.

yes 2cc will allow plenty of clearance. 7cc will as well but you'll loose more compression over the 2cc.

FWIW im running a set of custom diamond pistons domed 6.6 w/ 2cc's. a 234/242 112 cleared easy w/ 5.7 heads milled .030. my new cam has yet to be determined.

Sweet deal man looks like my new forged pistons are on their way just a couple question though what do u mean by 6.6 is that a raised dome also if i may ask what kinda power are u putting down, if you dont want to say thats cool, i know how some people are about their numbers but definetly thansk for the help i really appreciate it

6.6cc is the effective dome




this is a pic of my shortblock, notice the domed piston. as far as power the new setup realistly will be done in about a month. im just waiting on my cam and then everything can be installed, its about 10k worth or parts. numbers will be up as soon as i have them.
