ive done quite abit of research and i cant find the answers to my questions. heres what i want to do to my 95 ta. 94 lt1 vette bock, 4bolt main. eagle forged crank, rods, srp slugs, 224/236 114lsa, with afr 195 heads . NOW i want to run 8.5 :1 but i cant seem to get all the measurements down so i can order the bottom end. i dont know the deck height, what head gasket im using. I DO have to have a equal amount ( per say) of quench, right? so i cant use a big head with a flat top piston, or big dish piston with a small cc head. CAN you please help me out and recommed a good plan. i DO NOT plan on going cheap with this but i dont have endless pockets either. i want the car to be streetable and hope to make around 500 to the wheels. 12-15psi.


thanks for any help

 

I'd like to know this also except with stock heads, not AFR's...

to double check my math, maybe it will help you guys out.

 

>I would contact someone like www.cmotorsports.com and see what they would recommend for dished pistons or try your local machine shop .

 

thanks, bowtiepower i tried a local machine shop around here and he said that you can use a big chamber or a dished piston, its 6 of one half a dozen of the other. problem is, on the board ive heard that you have to have a QUENCH area.
RADIk, thanks but im not sure what the deck height is, head gasket thickness will be, or the gasket bore. i was gonna use that till i realized what info i needed.
