It's all about making things work together. I will admit that higher compression will make the low end a lot better however.


as for his question, just any piston manufacturer should have what you need. I like CP pistons and haven't heard anything bad about them. Personally I would use oem pistons if you are into drag racing. the time period of a drag race isn't enough to require forged pistons or oil squirters, although both help.

If you are into road racing ditch the ls block and get one with squirters and then use oem pistons lol. OEM pistons are cheap, reliable as fawk, and proven.. plus there are so many types to choose from that you can make about any CR you want
agreed....on most parts.

if running forged pistons the oil squirters arent really necessary. trying to install them into a b18a/b block isnt easy.

if you're sticking to the stock bore oem pistons are a great solution. you can get your c/r anywhere from 10:1 all the way up to 13:1. but since you say you have 91oct then stick to 11:1-12:1.
