what head will you be running?

i would go with some ctr pistons... makes a good piston for all motor build.

b16 pistons are so-so.

CTR would definately bump on the compression.

Check out The Zeal compression calculator to see how high it would be. With my full B18C I was running 13.22:1 compression with PCT (CTR) pistons so I had to buy a thick cometic head gasket to lower it to 12.23:1. On 94 octane I can just get by.
