Just curious if using these rods and the diamond -2 pistons would increase my compression any. Hopefully not. 5.3 heads milled .015 and block decked .002-.003. That should put me in the 11.2 range correct with a stock thickness head gasket. Thanks.

It lowers it a bit because of the valve reliefs cut into the pistons. I did the pro mod rods they are sweet with diamond pistons. chris @ diamond or jason at thunder could hook you up. Longer connecting rod has the pin slightly higher in the piston.
