well, finally got my car out of the shop today...its a 97 integra gsr (b18c1)... JE 9:1 pistons, and eagle h beam rods were the only things i changed engine-wise. I had Type R 11:1 pistons before this and it pulled hard!! WHat I also have done to my engine are: cams, valvetrain, valve springs, titanium retainters, intake, header and exhaust. Now, I raced my buddies 92 H23 prelude today which he only has exhaust...and surprisingly he won by probably 2 carlengths. Is this because I have lower compression now? Does compression make that much of a difference?

btw, i am boosting in the next week or so...

no it makes no differnce, thats why they offer so many options when you order pistons. come on dude are you kidding???

That is probably one of the dumbest question you can ask. Hell yea, it makes a difference. Thats how you get cylinder pressure. The more air you can get in the smaller area the more power you can make.
