if the head hasnt been milled and your running an oem 3 layer headgasket, ctr pistons would put you at 11.9:1. or you can go with aftermarket forged pistons to put it at wherever you want.

my plans are to get near the highest compression with pump gas. i dont plan on going bigger on the bore so compression would be the start in the motor process. then im gonna match a cam to the compression profile. but i mainly want to stay away from boring out the cylinders.

btw where can i purchase higher compression pistons? ive search all over online for high compression B16 pistons but the highest i find are stock compression but forged.

weisco, Ross, mahle, etc any company you want will make whatever compression piston you desire.
