-JDM ITR Pistons
-Shot Peened Rods (LS)
-ARP Rod Bolts + Head Studs

= 11.36 CR with OEM Head Gasket
~ 11.67 CR with 2 Layer Gasket

..where have you been searching..?

if you want more compression go with the JDM B16 (P30) Pistons.

= 11.59 CR with OEM HG
~ 11.92 CR with 2 Layer

Please dont go CTR pistons with you GSR head...

Whats the highest Pump Gas that you can get in your area?
