Default CTR OR ITR PISTONS

This is probably a dumb question. Anyway which pistons would be better to use in a b16, the itr or ctr?And with LS rods right for either would be better? Thanks for you input.

ITR pistons will cause you to lose compression, CTR pistons will cause you to gain compression. LS rods will cause either to have territorial disputes with the cylinder head.

There is much you need to learn concerning compression height.

pr3 pistons have a higher dome than p73's (.098'' vs. .070); compression height is also .01'' diference between the 2, compression height favors the p73; in regards of compression
