If you had a larger combustion chamer you could knock it down some, but as matt said, don't think it's an issue anyway.
I haven't ordered the kit yet I talked to a guy named Eric last week I saw the twisted wedge pistons but Eric said the lowest compression ratio for them was 10 to 1 so he was going to take a different piston that was 9 to 1 and cut the valve reliefs in them for the twisted wedge 61cc heads.

I would be happy to see what I can do for you yeah. What exactly do you want kit wise? I need cubes, forged or cast, H or I, bore size, and I know you want a dished piston with TFS valve reliefs in it.

Want 408 stroker kit for a 94 lightning stock block that will hold 700hp with - 9 to 1 compression, 4.030 bore, forged crankshaft, h-beam rods, neutral or internal balance and yes dished piston for the tfs. I think Eric said the kit would be 1638 + the money for the piston cuts, and free balancing

No problem. I still can't make up my mind DSS racing has a kit they say is good for over 1000hp in a street car. Its a 408/410 ci. x7 with their patented x groove to keep from fuel wash down and cylinder wall scratches. I got them talked down from $2200 to $1999 out the door shipping and all and theres will be 9.3 to 1 compression with my heads and no flycutting.
