Forget Ross or Diamond. Go with CP. CP makes their pistons specifically for boosted/nitrous applications. Order it with an inverted dome designed for nitrous and sleep well at night.

I will look into that.

Another Q:

Will the C5R block accept knock sensors? If so which kind?
And what about PCV setup? LS1 or LS6?

I haven't heard about it not accepting the stock knock sensors, so I would assume it does. Go with the LS6 PCV, since it's supposedly better. Or, run your own catch can type of setup using the LS6 PCV.

In my old 427 I had a 244-250 and the idle was very tame! Too tame. But it made 520rwhp through a th350 , 12 bolt, steal drive shaft and slicks. It also was a pump gas motor. Call Speed Inc for the cam.
