If they are right then they will give you about 9.3:1
but they will work fine

the compression is different in a gsr because of the smaller combustion chambers in the head. get lower compression pistons for the gsr if you want to be more comfortable like 8.5:1. 26-30lbs that's alot of boost man why so much.

you would be fine with the pistons you already have. 9.3:1 is hardly a difference.

If you are going to run that much boost I'd get the GSR pistons just for that little extra safety.


btw do you happen to know Nirmal? He used to own a 11 second GSR daily driver.
