Piston compression height

Would a 1.05 compression height be ok for lets say a 200-250 shot?

It was a motor I was looking at to buy and it has Lingenfelter L92's on it. It was a 438 Darton sleeve ls3 with callies internals and wiseco pistons.

It should be ok... I'd like to see it closer to 1.15 or 1.20 (if not even more than that) for more thickness in the area under the valve "pockets" and a little bit better ring placement, but It should be ok for that size shot.

Well I passed on that motor and decide to build a 418 and went with Wiseco piston # k464x7. It has a 1.110 compression height. It comes with the kit you buy from TSP.
