after market pistons
gsr.... im building the head with skunk2 valves, retainers and springs... so i was curious if i should go after market pistons or itr..... im going all motor high compression...
i was just looking at JE 12.4 to 1 pistons.... what must be done to use pistons with compression that high without any risk!!!

head work... valves, retainers, springs. i would suggest arp head bolts since your in there. that and your gonna wanna chip an ecu so you can tune. you do realize with that kinda compression fuel managment needs to be looked at aswell... 94 octane is gonna be your friend from now on

is the 11.5 JE pistons be a good suit for what im doing??? with those and a 2 layer head gasket with built gsr head what would be a rough estimate on compression.... like i said im doing skunk2 valves springs and retainers on the head but i still dont know what kinda cams to use... and then the block i was gonna use stock crank with aftermarket or ITR pistons and do a fresh rebuild!!!!

well you can go to redpepperracing.com and use their comp. calculator and try all sorts of setups. it's ur build so do as you please. as for a headgasket just stick with a stock metal honda headgasket. trust me though....just please invest in some arp head bolts bcuz the higher the comp. the more the head could lift. i would just suggest using itr pistons but like i said that would be my build and not yours. keep asking questions and researcha and u'll find the right setup you want. what's ur hp goal???
