I would run no more than 8 on factory rods and pistons. A buddy of mine ran 10 on a D16z6 with factory internals and when we pulled the rods and pistons out to replace them with wisecos and pauters the rings and lands fell off every piston. It was sickening. You should invest in a good set of low compression pistons and rods.

What's with all this talk about lowering compression? If I ever build my Z6 I would probably up the compression a little bit and run like 9.5:1 pistons. I am going to have to blow my stock Z6 before I build it though.
