piston recomendations
piston recomendations Im pulling my motors soon due to low oil pressure and i want to thought some forged pistions in there while i have it apart. Im supercharged with stock heads and im wanting to be around 9cr. what pistons would you recomend? Im broke as a joke so keep that im mind. lol
your right. i found a member on here that has a 383 eagle forged crank & eagle forged h-beams. SRP -31cc pistons in it and i was thinking of getting that. He said with the stock heads i would be around 9-9.2cr

All kinds of different opinions on this, but you can make about the same power, just a bit less torque with a 355. Not that torque is unimportant. It is very important, but you can only have so much before all you do is spin your tires, and believe me a boosted 355 will have PLENTY of torque. This would allow you to keep your stock crank and have a smaller machining bill on top of it. There are still advantages to the 383 though for certain applications so do your research. It doesn't sound like you're building a totally *****-out racecar though, hence my lean toward a 355.
