I'll be going with a Callies rod/Diamond piston combo here. I'd like to get the pistons coated like the Mahle's.

I forgot the name of em, but I guess JE has a pricier piston that runs $1000 for the set of pistons. One of the shops in Phoenix who specializes in Vettes has used them a few times and said he's able to squeeze an extra 4 degrees of timing out of every forced induction car that uses these pistons. Not sure how much truth there is in this but I'm researching the idea myself right now.

I have -25cc Wisecos, made from 2618 aluminum alloy. Those have offset pins as well.

With a 76cc head, these pistons are at 7.6 to 1 compression ratio, how much lower do you want?

I've got bare AFR 210's that I am going to have fully gone through. I am going to have the chambers done at 64cc which will give me about 8.25 to 8.5 to 1 compression. I think that will be about right.
