Default ls block w type r pistons..what head?

Ok like the title says I have an ls block with type r pistons. I want to keep the stock ls head for now. But I know the type r pistons will change the compression... what cams should I get for the ls head? Thanks.

Type R pistons need to be machined to make it fit into LS rods

P30 pistons might be your best choice

I've had the rods milled. They are already on the pistons. and I also had the block honed so everything is set. I was just wondering if a stock ls head with those pistons would be ok?

yea stock LS head will be fine. It'll just be a high comp non-vtec. You'll see more power if you put a b-series vtec head on.
