B18B/B20B piston question: plz help :)
I was looking to get a B20Z, but they're proving nearly impossible to find at a reasonable price, so I figured I'd just get higher compression pistons for a B20B and call it a day. I am NOT looking to build a vtec motor, nor am I trying to build some kind of beast. I would like to put my c/r around 10.5:1 for daily driving/autocross. Also note: I am cheap... I'm looking to make this as simple as possible 
h:
Here's the question:
Who makes a 84mm LS/crv piston to put compression around 10.5:1? I haven't found any.
I know JE/SRP makes 84mm cr/vtec pistons... but am I correct in assuming that wouldn't actually yield a 10.5:1 c/r with the stock (B20) head? What other issues might I have using pistons designed for a vtec head?
Ideas and info are greatly appreciated.
