Cool, kind of what I was thinking. That explains it perfectly for me. Thanks.

I believe when I'm done it'll be a track night weekend carshow truck i beat on it on the street when I drive cause I'm in Maine cause there's a lot of good country roads in towns where it's 1 sheriff on duty at a time (let's be honest barely anyone thinks we have electricity) . But I'd like to find a happy medium of compression race street that's sorta y I'm doing an 80 and not an 88

That is the same setup I have. Same pistons. I run the TSP 2.5 heads for a truck. I ended up opening up the combustion chamber a little, and that brought the compression down where I wanted it.

I will be doing another build soon and going with the 317s.

If you go with an L92 head and a big cam, you should check your valve clearance as those pistons were not designed for them.

The cam it came with is low.6xx high .5xx I just did a lq9. L92 build with a .610 .617 cam no issues so with the dish l92 would be ok all day
