I JUST TALKED TO SUMMIT AND THEY RECOMENDED THIS SET OF PISTONS. tHEY SAY WITH 60CC HEADS IT WOULD BE AT 10:5.1 But with my heads (58cc) i should be right at 11.1 These are the ones they suggested peace

I also figured since i'll have the motor this far apart i might as well install these to COMP Cams 31-1000 - COMP Cams Retro Fit Hydraulic Roller Lifter Kits – SummitRacing.com

This dosent seem like a very smart decision, your going to have to pull the motor, rebalance the assemble, rehone the cylinders and put new rings in it.

Nitrous is great, but it gets expensive filling a bottle all the time, and if you already built a low comp motor, just put forced induction on it. You took 1 step forward, and now you are going 5 back
