Flat top pistons in a 454 Big Block Chevrolet engine with Open Chamber Heads will generally provide compression ratios of 8.0 to 9.0:1 which makes them a good option for any engine that needs moderate in compression due to boost, and larger than stock camshafts. Valve reliefs are configured to work with most types of standard and aluminum cylinder heads and will normally fit camshafts to well over .600 valve lift.
