No, but I know Diamond has some designed for the 11 degree ETs and we've had good luck with all of their products.

What exactly would be different, the valve relief placement? I am running coated -2cc Diamond flattops w/ 11* heads, with .040" cometic for a small quench...am I losing out on something?

Most of the shops i've been around have just relief'd the wiseco pistons themselves when they were to be used with the 11* heads.

valves are placed a bit different and are at a different angle which means the point of contact on the piston would be at a different location.
