Do you need to get dished pistons or larger reliefs for the pistons with canfield heads on a 302 or a 351w?

^^ that was one of my first questions, i am wondering the same.

and why must i have a larger chamber with a blower application?

would a 215RHS heads with 64 cc chambers and 2.08/1.6 valves be ok for my blower a couple years from now and good performance now with my N/A setup??

thansk all.

you want lower compression ratio for boosted applications, unless you are ready to run some pretty high octane fuel...
the larger the chamber, the lower the compression ratio. then you add in your pistons, and figure out what its going to be.
any piston you buy should have documentation about the ratio it provides with a certain chamber.
