This question pertains more to the pistons that come with the stroker kits. The two kits I'm looking at are,
CNC motorsports
Mahle pistons with a -4cc dish that comes out to 10.7:1 with 84cc edelbrock rpm heads.
Hughes
Icon pistons with a -26.7cc dish that comes out to 10.3:1 with 75cc edelbrock rpm heads.
Both are 4.25 stroke with 7.1 rods.
My question is which is better? Small combustion chamber with bigger dish or big combustion chamber with smaller valve reliefs? I'm looking to stroke my 440 to 505 for pro touring purposes. I'm planning to put a lot of miles on it and hardly any track time, not looking to go over 5500-6000 rpm. I'm building the motor more for the torque for cruising more than anything else. Plan on using a edelbrock performer rpm intake and holley super sniper 1250 efi if it matters.
