Default Is there a wayu to increase the compression on my ITR other than changing the pistons?

I have the basic bolt ons and was thinking of increasing the compression with hopes of gaining more HP. Is this logical? If so what do i need to do I really don't want to changes the pistons so if there is any other way let me know

Another way to increase compression is to get a thinnner head gasket. Both Mugen and Spoon sell them.

the head gasket would be the best bet. also, if ur cars under warranty, its merely a simple bolt on, that can be removed when u have to visit ur dealership, so that ur warranty wont be voided.

Mill the head

Change the valves

Deck the block

All can yield higher C/R's.
