I found a set of 10:1 Ross pistons for extremely cheap. Thought about using them on my Ls/vtec turbo set-up. What does everyone think? To high of compression?
Thanks!

Thats about as high as you'll wanna go for turbo. Your effective compression will be ridiculous, putting alot of stress on the engine, but it will make more power with less effort. Which is where you need to understand something. PSI does NOT designate a power goal. So after your car is tuned out and it makes say 300 whp on 8 PSI, don't be saying "well, I'm ONLY running 8 PSI, I can turn it up a little. WRONG. Just because the PSI level is low, doesn't mean that your setup isn't making power.
I've seen this happen alot. My buddy did it in his stock b16a3 del sol. Fried the rings because he was power happy, then it got stolen.
That was BEAUTIFULLY said, Matt...though it has been said before, just not this well.
Sonofa...I must have gone rep happy one day 'cause I can't rep you for that. haha
