CTR style/forged/heat treated pistons.
Tell me why these are bad pistons for N/A? because of how big the dome is? over revving? so what. every honda part is a dime a dozen. when you start building shit...then i can see your point.
whats wrong with high compression?

CTR pistons raise the compression so much more than people truely think.
Just think. B16 block is WAY shorter than a gsr/itr block, correct? yes?
Compression calcs online are off too.
F a CTR style piston. A 'p30/pr3' style is a better suited application for what he wants to do.
Compression isn't everything anyways. On a NA setup, power is in the head.

Re: LS Vtec budget build
wanna stay na. i thought about nos but then i was like nah. i was thinkin about goin with a ctr piston with some skunk 2 stage one cams. my block was jus rebuilt before brought it so i figure i jus change the pistons and bearing and have that balanced. The motor also came wit a nice header and skunk 2 intake mani. As far as the head like i said im thinking about the skunk 2 cams with aftermarket valve spring and retainers with a mild type r port. Then Finish it off with a good tune on hondata by inline pro.
why is it so hard to research what makes power and to make a price list accordingly?

from zeal autowerks.com
stock b16a compression-10.29
stock b16 with CTR pistion has a compression of 11.91
but that is from a online compression calculator, so what would you reccommend to use for a "better" compression calculator.?
i only know of zealautowerks.

It's late and I dont feel like searching for it.
There are plenty of threads on HT discussing the matter.
