I use Ross Pistons, but for my turbo build the compression I was looking to achieve was not possible with their off the shelf pistons (9:4:1) so they had to make me some custom ones with a I believe -24cc dish, I have used them before and held up great, But....They are not cheap...

part # 11420 from diamond will give you addiquate compression for the blower but enough compression to get it moving when ur not under boost........
Also I'd run the Callies Compstar 5.7" rods..........best bang for the buck by far
if you run a .039 compressed gasket you'll have in the 9.3 area depending on the actual deck height of the block.....assuming its in the .012-.010 area

Interesting... Diamond is like ten minutes from my house. Thanks for the hard work, you are da man when it comes to this shiznit. Off topic, but isn't stock deck heights somewhere between .020 and .027?

they are supose to be .020 in the hole from the factory........i've seen them all over the place though........you're probably going to have to have the block squared and the deck finished anyway so i assumed around .012 for yours......dropping it down more will only lower the compression which in your case isn't the end of the world.....
