He returned every call I made and every email. Price was very competitive. Thanks guys!
The pistons are dished...but even with the dish the compression will work out to exactly 12 to 1. The pistons are .010 out of the hole.
I checked a few things out. Crank endplay was .003 which is fine. Everything else looked great.
I have highly skilled techs helping me ;-)

I'm glad your happy with your setup and our customer service. We appreciate your business and let us know if you have any questions or problems. Thanks, CAM
going on...anyhow very nice setup. Why did you go with dished pistons out the hole. Does it give a better burn with the nitrous?

couple different reasons for the dished piston. It was actually a semi custom piston from Diamond..so turn around time was only about 4 weeks instead of 8-12 for a fully custom piston. Second...all else being equal I have read some evidence that a dished design will net better results than a pure flat top due to better quench and flame travel. So if there is better quench there is better detonation resistance.
