I've read of several who have taken it from a 96.01mm out to a 99mm bore. 99mmm is the stock bore of an LS1. If you take it out to this bore, it would be easy to find pistons.

Well they are a 3.78" bore now so, there is no way to get to 4", you will just hit the water jackets. Maybe a .030" bore over.
