Budget LT1 11:1 355 w/ LE1 heads, what pistons?? Im in the middle of rebuilding my LT1 and having trouble narrowing down what pistons to go with,..a little background:.. im having my stock LT1 bored .030 over to a 355,im also sending my heads to lloyd elliot to have the LE1 head work done,and i figured what the heck, i gotta buy new pistons anyway,might as well up the compression ratio to 11:1..i have searched and searched and can not find a piston that i feel would net me the 11:1 compression ratio im lookin for,i also occasionally spray it with a 100-150 shot of nitrous,with all that said ,what pistons should i buy?,can anybody help a guy out? with a part# or maybe some specs to point me in the right direction?any help will be greatly appreciated,thanks in advance.

you would have less compression.
also, from what I hear the wristpin wire locks on the SRP's work pretty good. But that's just what the guy that built my motor told me. I don't know anything.
