so i guess if i run a smaller cc head, i would need a bigger cc pistion to get the cr down. Does that sound about right?

i'm a firm believer in using small cc heads in getting your targeted cr with the piston choice.is this a street car or strip car?

that's a loaded question as a bunch of things come into play, C.C. of heads + gasket thickness + cylinder bore + piston shape = CR.i would talk/email with the company who's pistons you plan on using or the shop your buying them from.i like CP & wiseco myself,and don't forget to tell them its for a boosted engine
