Dome pistons will have higher compression over flat tops. You have to make sure you have enough PTV clearance with them though. Always a good idea anyways.



For only racing, I\'d go TH350. It can be build almost as strong as the TH400, and its lighter and uses less hp to turn. A T56 is a 6 speed manual, not a 4 speed.

The 6\'\' rods would be better, they dont add or take away any cubic inches.....but they do provide a little straighter stroke in the bore. Which frees up a little power from having less bind on the rotating assemably.
