Default high compression pistons with Nitrous??

quick question:
I know that with turbo engines you do not want high compression pistons (like CTR pistons in my B18B) but low compression pistons. But what about with a Nitrous Oxide system?? Does it matter? or would you want low compression pistons just like boost?
thanks

High compression adds alot of detonation risks with any type of boost, including NO2. Keep it stock or lower for anything like that, or keep it at a small shot and get it all tuned PERFECTLY.

i believe its all on tuning, ignition specifically, like all big power adders. I allways forget which way you go, I believe its advancing the timeing. Like the crank is farther down on the power stroke. With high compression youll need more advanced timing than lower compression.

Interesting question on how much power difference there is between the same spray shot on high/low compression motors. My guess there is no difference.
