Compression question?
I am building a 370, ie a LQ9 that is .030 over. I have noticed that most of the pistions that are 4.030 are built for 6.125 rods. I am reusing my LQ9, 6.098 rods and have 64cc heads. I was going to use flat top aftermarket pistons with valve reliefs. Does anyone know how much compression I will lose by running the 6.098 rods versus the aftermarket 6.125 rods, since the compression height will not be as high with the shorter stock rods? Thanks

I haven't bought any yet. I was just looking around at them doing a little research to see what my options are. Since the motor is going in a truck and is naturally aspirated, I am trying to not give up any SCR.
