Compression Raising
I am going to be getting Skunk2 Stage 2 Camshafts and Wiseco Pistons - 11.5:1 with Eagle Rods. I wanna know what would be the benefits, horsepower wise, of the pistons. I am gonna get it dynoed and tuned with a VAFC but was just wondering. I will be also doing Skunk2 Valve springs and titanium retainers.

What are your hp goals? 11.5:1 should still be good on pump gas. I don't know how much horsepower you're going to gain after tuning. With Stage 2 cams I suggest getting a Skunk2 Intake Manifold as well to really maximize the top end power.

I would also get a hondata for maximum power and safety on pump gas. You could probably get it to be ok with a VAFC though.
