ok so im running trick flow twisted wedge heads 64cc milled t0 62cc, the pistons im running are in the pic below, the block is NOT decked, and im using a fel pro 1010 head gasket.

im just wondering if someone can tell me what kind of pistons these are, and how much compression im making.

They look like standard 5cc valve relief flat tops. If they are you should expect about 9.95:1 compression with the 1010 head gasket, and assuming the piston is sitting 0.025 in the hole, with a 1.56 compression height, combined with a 62cc head, a 5.7 rod, and a standard crank.
