Dwight, now we are getting somewhere. Strictly stock. Would the flat top with notches be worth carrying the extra 260 lbs? Rough HP number on a dyno, 10, 15, 20 HP less from the dish piston?

The flat with notches is a better piston but would it worth the weight?

I am asking a lot without much info, lol that why class racers are the best!

In most cases a spherical dish will make the most power,However there are a lot of variables.Bill C.

Re: Piston perfromance
 

A dish also means more volume in total, a bigger bomb in theory
and we can fool the engine into thinking its got more
compression than it really does.

I was thinking we could all chip in and get Joe a play station 3 to occupy him so he stops with these weird ideas. Still thinking about the 2 BBL.? Just busting them, see you at E-Town.
