yes you can i believe almost all pistons come with valve reliefs

here look at
THIS PIC

now the piston on the top left is an inverted dome piston with valve reliefs

the piston on the top right is a DOME piston with valve reliefs

the piston on the bottom is a flat top piston

Yep, but what are your plans?

If you take even a -5cc flat top .005 out of the hole with a .039" head gasket with stock chambered 54cc heads, you're going to be running ~12.7:1 CR...

If you are buying new AFR heads, they can be supplied with chambers down to 56cc, if remember right. A smaller CC with a flat top (or dish) is the better way to get high compression. The dome interferes with travel of the flame front,
