Default lq4 pistons

i am looking for some pistons for the lq4. i am wanting to raise the c/r. i know wiseco pistons makes them but i can not tell want the c/r would be. i am running the 317 heads. i would figure to just hone the cylinders and change out the pistons. can someone give me some suggestion? and a link. i looked at summit and could get the c/r looking at the info they gave me.

Well, if you go flat top (most common) you will have 10.4 CR (same as an LQ9). What CR are you targeting?

i think your going to be closer to 10.0 with flat tops and 317 heads (70-72 cc) you would pick up a little with an overbore, but not much, maybe .1
wiseco shows 10.4, but with a 4.100 bore-the high cc heads are what you will be limited by

You need flat top pistons, this will put you at 10.5, same CR as the LQ9. The Lq9 is an LQ4 with flat top pistons and it yields 10.5 CR.
