2cc is what everyone is saying. Id say that its pretty close to being right.

I think it would be closer to 1.5 but I havent checked one. 2cc and .030 in the hole makes gms compression ratio correct.

Let us know if we can help with your build. Of course we still offer all the LSx pistons for the bigger bore too, should you decide to go that route!

Is 2.2cc the number we're after here?
