I am in the planning stages of my next Hemi build and not really happy with any of the shelf pistons that are available and was wondering why I don't see any 4.15 stroke/7.1 rod piston choices out there. It would seem like a nice package with a compression height of 1.55" and the extra clearance of the 2.2 chevy big end size and .990 pin. Are there any disadvantages out there running this stroke and rod combination?

My goal is to have a really strong street/strip combo but nothing crazy. This will be used on an older Mopar mega block and want to retain the stock internal oil pickup and is my only build constraint.
