Low Compression Pistons!?!
http://www.corsportusa.com/sto...=1875
Just noticed these on corsport and was wondering what kind of benefits these will have in conjunction with a T/C or S/C setup. Is this a mod that can be used by itself or will it result in power loss?

Re: Low Compression Pistons!?! (RICO_)
You can run more boost without fear of breaking a rod. If you’re not boosted, the benefit would be the ability to run a lower octane fuel without fear of detonation. With 9:1 could safely run a minimum octane of 87.
The problem with running something like this is the same with everything else with these cars. Fuel tuning. The car is tuned for higher compression. I would think you would need a reflash or stand alone fuel management to correct the fuel mixture.
