the 225s would lower comp right? So if you want the higher comp, go with the 215s. All depends on FI or NA

Bigger isn't always better. You want air speed. Depending on what you are building, 205's would be good. Too much would kill throttle response and low end. Check with some of the pros here.

Get the 215. It is plenty for stock CI. Look at all the people who swear by a smaller 205cc runner by other companies. Trust us. It will be enough
