stock displacement pistons*HELP* Alright fella's,...need help,...i'm slammed at work, and need to get my cousins car back together. It's a 2000 WS6, 6 speed. Not trying to build a race car, just a nice driver.
List of mods.
all to go on now...
LS6 intake
Mac headers and off road pipe
Thunder racing CAM 224.4intake 225.1 exhaust .569 lift intake .569 exhaust 111.9 degrees lobe seperation
I have a set of LQ9 heads I'm giving to him. Will have them decked, and new springs/retainers/pushrods added ofcourse.
WHAT KIND OF PISTONS TO GO WITH? We were going to leave the stock heads(LS1) but, might as well go with the LQ9's. So, obviously that would drop the compression,..and I would like to bring it up with STOCK DISPLACEMENT PISTONS....
Or should I just leave the stock heads? ANy help is needed...

I'm confused. You are going to bring comprssion up with stock pistons. Or are you saying you are going to bring compression back to stock with domed pistons. If I were you I would just use stock heads. Or get some ported heads. I wouldn't go LQ9 unless I was going with a turbo/supercharger.

Sorry, million things going on hear...trying to install an STS kit, rebuild this motor on the TA, order parts, and work on two more cars. My mind is going to pop. I ment useing stock displacement DOMED pistons.
Honestly, i'm probably gonna put the stock heads back on the car. I'm running out of time...and put the engine back together.
