Default d16y7 w/ d16a6 pistons?

So, with a full i/h/e setup and a stock d16y7, would it be possible or any gains in d16a6 pistons?

Or is it preferrable to go with a6 pistons only when doing mini-me's?

I want a bit more from my slow y7.

Yeah, a guy InfinateNexus ran a Y7 with full bolt ons, A6 pistons, and an upgraded cam and ran a high 14 as I recall.

IMHO though, most people don't see those kind of gains. Just turbo the bitch. All motor D is a waste (I know, i've tried it).

I thought you could get a y7 in some eg's, he also could be running a jumper harness(i don't see the point though since it's non vtec).
