Mahle Motorsport Forged 346 cid LS1 Flat-Top Piston Set: 3.903" Bore, 3.622" Stroke, 6.125" Rod Length, .927" Wrist Pins, 1.340" CH, -1cc Dish; Wrist Pins and Piston Rings Included
Looking at these pistons, and see they have a -1cc dish. Do they also have valve reliefs, as Diamond and other pisons do? If so, how deep are they? What would CR be with .040 gasket and 61cc chambers?
Thanks, Shawn

You can get the Mahle pistons with the valve reliefs. The piston & rod combo is a killer deal on ebay. My buddy Jeff has that combo in his F.I. engine. He made 569 rwhp with a 346 c.i., TEA Stage 3 6.0 heads, a small comp grind cam, and a Vortech G trim.
