Many retailers advertise 9.0:1, but this is not what they sale. So now, I just sold my old 8.6:1 pistons because I wanted a higher compression, and I'm getting 8.5:1 pistons.
I guess I have to buy the FM 9.0:1 Wiseco pistons, since its a custom piston.

no... JE Pistons bro, I just ordered some a couple days ago. They come in 83.5, 84, and 84.5 mm for about $500 w/rings.

I still think you're retarded for selling the supertechs.

Why would you go through the trouble of selling your 8.6:1 ratio pistons and only upgrade to 9:1??? If your so worried about low compression ratio's as to sell your 8.6:1, you might as well go to 10:1. If you don't you'll probably be selling your 9:1's before long. JE makes 12:1 I believe, buy those. Buy something and install them and be happy.

I'm about to take the 8.6 supertechs to UPS anyway, I already accepted the paypal monies.

It's easy to say because it is true. The silver lining is that y8s get's a good deal on some pistons.
So exactly how much earlier will your turbo spool because of the additional compression from the 9.0:1 over the 8.6:1? How much more power are you going to make?
I guess for piece of mind and the placebo it might be worth it for you.

Bore has nothing to do with compression. Look at "dish" and deck-height.
I'm so tired of the anxiety over this. I lose sleep over this crap.

Little Garrett T25 .80/.48 with a super shitty downpipe that has a crushbend in the bottom that necks it down to more like 1.8", the rest of the exhaust is 2.5" with some shitty generic baffled muffler.
Our engines aren't slow revving slugs, they rev fast and climb in RPMs fast. When you want to go fast you're going to be getting into the pedal deep anyway. THe GT2860rs is not a slow spooling turbo. Isn't that the whole reason people buy it, fast spool and big power.
Quit losing sleep about the pistons man they don't suck.

well, everyone aside from the guy who sold me the turbo thinks its too big or too small for 250whp. I think the 9.0:1 pistons can only help since I'm only going to put down 250whp, and I'd like to have 12psi at 4000rpm so I don't have to constantly slam gears on the track like I do at 94whp.
Hopefully I didn't **** up by selling these pistons.
