What do you mean Deep of a dish? This usually only affects the Compression ratio. The piston as a whole will be less height than the stock piston if its a stroker. The dish is C/R.
When i was going through my fiasco with piston ordering, It started out with a piston being bought that turned out to be a stroker piston which i didnt realise until after it was installed and i was getting ready to put on the head when i noticed that the one piston wasnt going to the top of the wall.
After figureing out that we ordered another piston from mahle, which turned out to be a 9.x piston and was completly noticable by the dish being smaller in diameter than the other three pistons. (which were 8.7:1 pistons)
