Dome or flat top pistons? What would be better to run on a 383? Dome or flat top pistons? I just want to run a small shot of n2o(like 100). are these pistons any good?

Depending on your combustion chamber cc, a domed piston will put you into some seriously high compression.
Wiseco Pro-Tru were my cheap forged piston of choice until I got my hands on some Mahle's, the Mahle's are much better and the same cost.

with a 64cc chamber go flat top, otherwise you'll be mixing race gas into the mix. Mine are 2-valve relief flat-tops and I'm at 11:1 compression with a 65 cc head.
