I would think JE must have a shelf labeled specifically for shafiroff loaded with various custom pistons for all the secret combos. Definately fun to navigate their website. I just looked and the two low deck 615/925 pump gas builds. The solid roller 925@6,200 and the hyd roller 925@6,500???

Make note I said several not a few. Regardless no dig at Scott or his engines/company at all and know they've been around for many years with very few mostly pity complaints/issues. Does the equation work out to a std 6.135 rod? I didn't do the math but with that bore and stroke just took a stab at it. Nothing in that combo seems right in my head when I see all the potential concerns but NOTHING makes sense to me these days. Lol.
I see there has been more and more of the large CI taking it to a how new level over the last (which is now actually several years). Why not push the limits... Just not that combo for me as all.

That’s good to here and know seriously. Makes me kinda jealous actually when I coulda went that route rather than 565’s and picked some worthy power. Already have new rotating assemblies. Went old school 4,600, 4.25, 6.385 combo. That’s what I like about topics on OSO.

They actually have a new race version ( all upgraded components lifters, rockers, etc. 15.5 compression! Serious money $24k) of the 615 low deck with 20 degree heads that makes 1215hp.

SBC guys were running more extreme rod ratios and compression heights than stroked BBCs for years. Only a matter of time before someone decided to try them.
I also thought I had a unique idea to help do this, but it turns out piston buttons are already a thing. Nothing new under the sun I tell ya.
