Your VERY WELCOME Larry. I was going to give you a call to tell you they were on the way to you, but figured I would let it be a surprise.
Ever get my answer about the balance-r???

Assertive compression! (Re: Pictures of Tom's Custom Forged Pistons!)
« Reply #5 on: March 19, 2017, 09:48:50 PM »
Dear Tom, Jon, and mid-60s Buick engine technicians,

Compression should be at 10.25 to 1

I suppose this is an engine intended for running on premium (and stuff better than what we can get in California!)  Do you know by chance what the dynamic compression ratio will be with the selected cam?

Cheers, Edouard

I'm curious what cam he'll be using as well!

Those pistons are made to order, so compression ratio is whatever you specify.
