What sort of limit are you looking for on compression?

I like the CTR's, but it depends on what your goals are too...

go to compression ratio calculator

PCT's will yield a 11.75:1
p30's will yield a 11.33:1
pr3's will yield a 11.11:1
p73-00(jdm itr) will yield 11.1:1

and stock gsr's will yield 9.8:1

all of this is with a gsr block and crank/rods
and a b16/ITR head with a stock 3 layer head gasket
and no milling of the head or block
