You can spec the size of the dish you want. You need more information in your question. Are you looking for a stock bore replacement, stock bore replacement with .005 over or .010. My pistons are for a 3.898 bore (stock) with just a deglaze (clean up). The pistons are a 3.893 but require a .006 clearance for forced induction..which makes them a 3.899..which after the cleanup should be perfect. The cc's per piston are 7.77..which lowers my compression (head gasket thickness included) form 10:5:1 to 9:64:1. If you have an LS1 it will lower it to 9:14:1. I hope this helps.

JE made me pistons with 34 cc dishes. They'd be great for soup if you're not real hungry. They say that any more would get the dome too thin but I can see places where it probably could be opened to high 30s.
