internals #deuce

I was planning on going with either 10.0:1 or 9.0:1 compressioned pistons, will either of these give me a significant power loss and if so what kind of loss? If I go with a higher comression (11.5:1) what amount of boost can be safely added and will this ratio provide me with any type of losses? Also on the lesser of the ratios what type of boost can be added?


I am ready to order these pistons yet still do not know what would be best for my car. I am not a serious racer so I don't need that much boost I was hoping for @12-15.

Thanks

I suggest the lower compression pistons. Lower compression is safer/better with turbos.

I understand this but what I don't understand is how much of a low end or overall power loss I will see with the above compression ratios. Also if you could tell me what are the factors on how much boost can be added with the different compressions?
