which high compression pistion is better?

giggle gas ftw!

would it be easier just to go turbo with forged internals but with 8.5 to 1 pistons?

would put you out of pocket for more stuff from the outset....it REALLY depends what you want your car to do...

the darkside is costly. what about spraying it i know u should run forged internals but what compression should i run?

well twilightprotege runs a 50 shot of gas on his, which is the australian version and has higher compression to begin with (9.7 to 1 if memory serves? - i dunno, i'm tired and barely just woke up...) - on all stock internals and running gear....

His engine SEEMS to be putting up with it - but we wont know the extend of the damage (if any) until we lift the head and check everything out....

you will at a minimum need a stand alone to run a wet system, so that you can control timing when you turn the squirt on...

50 shot is ok but shouldnt spray it any more then that on stock internals right? i still gotta find out what wrong with the motor first its smoking and is blowing the ecu fuse and has a chattering noise. im just exploring my opinions right now.

run as much gas as you feel is safe to run....

50 shot starts making me nervous, especially on an engine that has been leaned on quite severely for a number of years...but you might be able to get away with a bigger shot if you are game...

on forged rods, even with higher comp pistons, if the tune and nitrous jetting is right you should be able to run 75, or even 100shot without dramas....
