Default Pistons in my LS/vtec

Ok heres my set-up
b18a block bored .25mm over
b16a head milled .025-.030 in
b18a crank
b18a rods
thinking a 2 layer HG

USDM pr3 0S
or
JDM p30 OS ( if I can ever find them!!!!!)

I have used the c-speed comp. calc. but there is one part I am not sure of which is the piston to deck hight.. Can someone explain this to me?
Thanks in advance.

This will be in a Street car that is barley on the street Tuned with Hondata
Not sure about what cams etc I am going for yet..Just trying to get another bottomend together

Don't use the c-speed calculator...I've heard and been told it's inaccurate.

With the head milled that much I'd stay away from a 2 layer head gasket. Make sure you get some adjustable cam gears as well because the cam timing will likely be inaccurate. Personally I'd just run the US market pistons, if you want more compression put flat valves in it.

pretty much the same difference. i went with the pr3's because i could actually get my hands on some, as oppsed to the p30. the p30 is a tiny tiny bit better, but not a big diff.

No they are not OEM
But Tom was saying that they come with the teflon coating like the type R pistons. Does that even help much? Less friction?
