Default Need advice about pistons and rods.

I have the factory K20 in my Si, and I was looking at some JE pistons for my car, not really sure which ones I should get. Heres what I've found so far, I would greatly appreciate any advice. Thanks.

look into some higher compression pistons, something around 11.5+, combined with a high compression head gasket, plus your usual bolt ons and cams, you're looking at some great power. oh and don't forget the K-Pro

if hes already going to change the compression with pistons, it would be dumb to change it with a head gasket. those have a greater chance of giving you a difference in compression as opposed to pistons. Stick with the OE head gasket spec and chance compression by either using different valves or pistons.
