would flat-top pistons be counter-productive in an allmotor build?
Say they were 11:1 (very close to stock itr) and forged?
Would they have a negative impact on the "swirl" or "tumble" necessary to make more power in an allmotor application?

but you cant have flat top 11:1 without losing A LOT of valve relief area.

Correct me if i'm wrong, but I think as long as you don't detonate and hit the valves, it woudln't matter if you're tumbling or not.

stage1 is stock lift
12mm or more is high lift.
