6.0 piston info needed......... Two questions.....
First: Being a truck engine and all I'm assuming the original pistons are cast, no? Is there a thicker head gasket someone offers to cut the compression from the stock 9.4 to say, 9.0 or so?
Second: Does someone offer a shelf piston for a forced induction application for the 6.0?
Thanks, Steve weim55 Colorado

Yes, the pistons are cast.
Thicker head gasket isn't the way to go. Just don't do it, it's the wrong way to the result you need. Spend a lump now, or spend a lot of lumps over time and still have it wrong.
Many companies make forged 4.000 and 4.030 pistons.
Good luck!
