Dome Pistons - Why
 

Is there any advantage to using dome style pistons?

More compression?

More compression ... in the past we've cut the heads a long ways and keep a flatter piston to get better flame travel

I love the BIg Chief stuff!!

in the high end markets, Pro Stock and Nascar Cup, the cylinder head chambers are getting smaller with shallower valve angles. This alows either a flat top piston or a dished piston to keep the compression up and still get good quench and flame travel.

yep, acomplish the high compression with a flat piston and make
the chamber small, but for those with large chambers can use the
dome to fill the chamber, but flats are a better plan to get high
compression, good luck :wink:

They look cool as hell.

HaHa, LMAO, i've never seen a dome piston in a running motor.

Zip.

I've seen a few in previously running motors moments later. :oops: :oops:
