why waste your money on forged 10:1 pistons??? if youre going turbo or supercharged get some 8.5 to 9.0:1 compression and if youre running N/A or nitrous if youre gonna spend the money just bump it up to 11:1 at least. if youre gonna spend the money, get the most out of it.

stupid question:
can stock pistons be replaced w/ high compression pistons and sleeves withOUT milling, port/polish, that sort of work??
just remove and replace??
will it make a substantial amount of power to justify money spent??
or is it just another egg in the carton?

You can replace them without resleeving. The only way you'd get more power out of pistons alone is by getting higher compression pistons on a N/A car. Lower compression yields more power for turbo apps because you can safely run higher boost.

we dont' have sleeved blocks. when you get new pistons, you would go like 1mm bigger than stock and get the block honed.

Ross will custom make you any piston you want. Stock compression, high compression, low compression. They will make it for you.
