Default Pistons...

Im hoping to start on my build soon...

i plan on running a T76 turbo later on and i want to go ahead and build the motor now so that when i go turbo i wont have to rebuild it!!

anyways... i was wondering on which would be better

Dished piston vs. Flat top for FI setup

And also the difference of the -4cc -9cc etc etc...

Thanks in advance guys!!

dished pistons are usually used to get the compression ratio you want.

You really need to decide on heads and pistons at the same time... Both help determine the CR...
