I don't know if its late and i am tired but i don't understand what your asking. Are you heads milled? if so how much? What head gasket are you using? You need a nitrous ring gap rather than custom pistons. You can pump cr by milling the heads and thinner head gasket but that limits PTV clearance. But you can always fly cut depending on depth. Each combo is different and you need to measure PTV on your combo. I am pretty sure min on a NA motor is .08

Sorry man
here is the info
Heads are stock, no milled,
LS9 head gasket, stock thickness
The piston has .176 intake pocket and .105 exhaust pocket

Will have 12:1 CR with the 64cc chamber of the 243 heads

Thank you
