I agree.
It's about how hard you will be pushing everything to need such a big cam. A 3388 is plenty for stock pistons.

Pretty sure pre fancy piston days guy's were de-lipping and taking .100" off the tops of the pistons to lower comp ratio. I don't see why doing the std. .075" relief would hurt anything. But I also agree with the others in that a stock cam or a 3388 is plenty, way better things to spend money on than a cam IMOP.
I'm pushing 800 on the stock cam and don't really see the need for one. Thought about an AF cam to help with harmonics on the crank, but don't know if it's worth it.
Sorry but if your reusing stock Pistons and wanting a cam and aftermarket rods. I would not use the stock Pistons in the build. Not if but when the Pistons cracks you will be spending more money fixing everything again and hope nothing else gets taken out.
Stock Lb7 Pistons once deliped and cut down makes a already thin top weak piston weaker. Add on the valve reliefs adds in a spot to get hotter and get hair line cracks around the edges.
When getting into building best to try and spend the money once. We have a few build packages onsale. Both have the option to switch the Pistons from the mahle race cast to The Finger oval bowl race cast Pistons for a small upgrade cost.

I will go ahead and agree with everyone here and suggest that you buy some pistons. You might be ok with the used parts just have them sent to Wagler and make sure they are in good shape. Broken cranks can ruin the rod ends and possibly crack piston skirts.
Supposedly has less than 1000mi on the motor, when the crank let loose under normal driving. I'm just wondering about the tts rods, don't hear much about them, and the pistons are 15.5 to 1. Do u know if the mahle race cast is available in that comp ratio? Thanks.
We can get finger ovsl bowls.
Cast pistons are available down to 15.5:1 w/o pockets because of material restrictions. Lower depending on pocket volume. Forged can go considerably lower, but there are limits.
For the cost of using used rods not worth it better be heavy discount.
For the cost of those rods out of the broke motor and buying the Pistons and gaskets and bearings go new.
We have a special going for Carrillo rods, race cast Pistons with rings and clips,bearing set and overhaul gasket kit. 4495.00 shipped along with
