Deck Height: +.006 or -.006? I've been playing around with some of the SCR/DCR calculators out there. I've seen both a negative and positive deck height used. What is the factory LS1 deck height?

If you're talking about my calculator (and every other calculator I've seen for that matter), it should be a negative number. You can use -.008 if you want to be ultra paranoid, and honestly, that's not really a bad thing. But the average is closer to -.006 from what I've read and been told.
So assuming stock deck height (block not decked) would stock crank, eagle 6.125 rod and Diamond 3.905 off the shelf piston yeaild -.006?
How about other non-stock connecting rods/pistons?
