I was always told that more compression will make more power...and teh PCT's have the highest CR in my motor. Now I have been reading around and am seeing all of these people that don't like the CTR pistons because of the large dome and flame travel....what pistons should I get for the build I am approching?
CTR?
ITR?
PR3?
P30?

 

More compression will only create more power with more cams and a good setup around it.

That being said, we need a little more information on what you want to do with the car before anyone can make an educated guess about anything. From there, the specs on the rest of the build.

Now for the CTR pistons, if you just throw them in and let em rip, they won't be too great from what I have read with others attempts with them. However if you are willing to take the time to have them modded accordingly as in debur, clean up sharp edges to stave off detonation, and then have the middle of the dome worked down a bit, they would probably be fine.

 

I am just gathering things so anything(nearly) is possible

 

If it was me I would install the P30's, run a 2 layer headgasket and install flat faced valves or plane the head (after cc'ing the chambers) to determine how much to take off to reach my compression goal. How much compression should you run?.... What do you use your car for? What kind of cams are you looking at? Most b16a cams don't require any real bump in compression to work well. What kind of tuning will you be using?

 

I will tune with crome pro and I don't know "AM" setups...I have been looking turbo d for 2 years
