Author Topic: domed vs dished pistons 93lx4cyl ¯ Member # 10517 posted                              So I was looking at a couple stroker kits and noticed a few different ones with either flat dished or domed pistons. If I'm not correct wouldn't it depend on the heads? I wanted to do a TFS track heat top end kit when I build the motor. Would one option work better than the other? Still new to some of this stuff lol I'd imagine so Thanks Posts: 204 | From: Sacramento | Registered: Dec 2010  |  : 1fastmach1 ¯ Member # 10137 posted                              Dished pistons = low compression flat top pistons =mid to high compression dome pistons=high compression -------------------- REDLINE MOTORSPORTS CC EST 2011 1993 CHP sold 2004 mach 1 408 Windsor n20 fed R.I.P.

Trickflows valve setup is unique. You can get away with not matching the valve reliefs on certain pistons to your heads with a smaller cam. What's the fun in that though!
