You will be fine with the hypereutectic pistons. LS1's and LT1's have been taken well past 10# with no problems

What the hell are you talking about? He asked for a piston not a turbo.

Wouldn't 7-10lbs. at 9:5:1 compression be a little doggy? I know of people running stock internals at 6-8lbs. with no problems. Not trying to start anything i'm just curious. I know that with that CR at 7-10lbs. would be alot safer. I've been looking at the JE pistons but they are around 700 bucks. How much are those ones your looking at?
