using B1 pistons in a C5?

Hey guys I was wondering if anyone uses B18B1 pistons (if possible) to lower the c/r for boost applications.

If so, does it make a significant difference?

Are B20B pistons possible?

Why not just get some decent 9:1 forged pistons?

Yeah, if you're going to tear the motor down you might as well ATLEAST get some SRP's. IMHO another set of stock Honda's is a waste, 10.6:1 will handle pretty much anything on the stock motor with good tuning, it's the ringlands that give you problems, not the compression.
