i believe they're tested to 35 or 40 psi with the sleeves, all you have to do is find a turbo and injectors big enough :P

go 10 or 10.5 and run 15 psi or more...haha...somewhat high compression and boost yeilds big power compared to a similar setup with low compression pistons. its just a matter of tuning it properly....glad to see theres actually another laos person on this board...haha i thought i was the only one

Are you going to be running pump gas or race gas? If this will mostly be on pump gas go with the lower compression. If this will be mainly used on race gas go with higher compression.
