what would these pistons change? compression ratio any?
DP11503 Flat top/3.905 bore/3.622 stroke/6.125 rod/1.314 comp.
height/.927x2.500 wrist pin/-8.6cc valve relief
(Boost/up to 20psi) $585.99
These are for bored block, 6.125 rods (stock are 6.098), and the -8.6 cc valve relief would be equal to running 74.5 cc heads. (lower compression)

thanks, guys! didn't mean to come off as knowing it all. I greatly appreciate the information and the STS kit should be ordered soon.

only thing with their kit is some of their piping i cannot stand...looks like it could have been done an easier way; but thats what you have 'exhaust' shops for. A guy back home will be able to fab me up anything for my piping needs.


Hope yalls projects/finished projects keep on going.....in june i'll be going to fayetnamm(before i get the STS kit on) to see what i'm running now. maybe i'll see some of yall out there if yall live around

anyone see rods in my future? Alvin@pcmforless pretty much says not to worry at all about those as I won't have a tremendous amount of power to do such a replacement
