Getting ready to order new pistons wanted to know how much compression was too much. I'll be running a 408 and think I need a dish piston. Prob from probe.
I also have vic jr heads with 60cc chambers.

Some new high-performance cars have 11:1 or higher C/R, but if you wanna run that high its going to require a custom grind cam I think
