On the 500" kit they offer -24 dished pistons, and it should get the compression to around 10.05. This compression should be perfectly fine and not really affect performance, correct?


A street car on pump gas you won't want 12:1 compression. You need to build a package of parts. Try around 10.5:1? compression with aluminum heads that match your needs and a cam that will work with all you have as best you can. Read as much as possible. Even sites like 440 Source are helpful.
