Re: I dont know what to get??? (DrivinVtec)
Try a double-blind test with a 8.7:1 NA H22 and a 9:1 NA H22. My guess is you'll only be able to guess which is which 50% of the time. In other words, you won't be able to.
That said, go with the pistons that have had the most sucess. There have been a couple CP issues when the cylinders see a small amount of oil or light detonation. Not the piston's fault, but the design definately doesn't help when compaired to other pistons. Wisecos have had 2-3 high-milage built motors have cracking issues. Bear in mind thats 40k+ miles, boosted the whole time. JE - well I can't say anything bad about them, nor can I find anything amazing about them.
