HELLO EVERYONE,

I AM NEW TO THEIS SITE AND NEED SOME HELP WITH BUILDING A STANG I RECENTLY BOUGHT WITH A BAD HEAD (TIMING CHAIN). THE VALVES HIT THE PISTONS. I HAVE PURCHASED EVERYTHING NEW FOR THE LOWER END. THIS INCLUDES RACING BEARINGS AND A HIGH FLOW OIL PUMP.
MY QUESTION IS CONCERNING PISTONS. I AM NOT SURE WHAT TO PUT IN IT, WITHOUT MESSING UP MY COMPUTER OR GOING SOMEWHERE TO HAVE IT TUNED.
THIS YEAR, I BELIEVE HAS THE 10.5CC PISTON SIZE. HOWEVER, I'VE BEEN LOOKING AT A SET MADE BY KEITH BLACK. THEY ARE FORGED 10.0CC AND WOULD RAISE MY COMPRESSION UP, WITH THE STOCK HEADS I HAVE. OTHER THAN THAT, THE WRIST PIN IN THE KEITH BLACK PISTONS ARE FREE FLOATING, AS OPPOSED TO THE PRESSED (STOCK) ONES I CURRENTLY HAVE. THESE PISTONS ARE AROUND $400 FOR THE SET. THE PART# IS KB883 IF THAT HELPS. BASICALLY, I DON'T WANT TO CHANGE MY RODS ETC...MONEY IS SOMEWHAT OF AN ISSUE.
AS FAR AS THE HEADS, THEY ARE STOCK--RECONDITIONED--WITH POLISHED INTAKE PORTS. BASICALLY, I WANT A GOOD DAILY DRIVER, WITH A SOME MORE KICK, BUT NOTHING TOO CRAZY.
PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK OR IF YOU HAVE A BETTER RECOMMENDATION FOR PISTONS--THX. **SOME OTHER MODS I BOUGHT WAS BBK HEADERS & OFF ROAD PIPE. I PLAN ON A COLD AIR INTAKE AS WELL.**

If you plan on staying NA then I would suggest you get -2.66cc pistons which will give you 10:1 cr.
