Compression height?

What should be my compression height on my pistons? Building a Gen III iron 6.0 (408) with K1 4.00 crank, 6.125 rods. Trying to order my pistons now and can't figure out what would be best, the 1.115 or the 1.1105

Madman, has the deck been cut any significant amount? 1.115 is the typical CH number for a standard deck height LS build with 4” stroke and 6.125” rods.

Not that I'm aware of but then again I did buy it already machined. I was waiting until I got my pistons then take it to the machine shop 2 be balanced and looked over

I’m not gonna tell you that you’ve chosen the best piston for your application, but I will say that those will work good for a performance build. Best choice is a loaded question. Lots of variables.
