dr_hunt Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 If your going to use NOS then you need to stay 11:1 compression or less. You should select the cylinder heads first so you can talke with vendors and get the right pistons to make that work. Best you can get for 23 degree heads is the AFR's, call them and ask them for a recommendation as to which one would suit your intended application.

jt1 Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 hindi, your piston choice depends on the bore of your block, the desired compression ratio, the chamber volume of the heads, and whether you run it NA, boosted, or sprayed. This is way too vague of a question for anyone to give you a good answer. I recommend you find a copy of the book "How to hot rod small block chevys" and give it a good read. You will earn a lot and have a much better understanding of how to achieve your goals. jt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
