[QUOTE="CobraRed_96_GT, post: 506324, member: 9107"] I never said boost on high compression being a fine route as misinformation, i was talking about stock and after PI swap compression ratios being thrown around. I'm simply saying it's going to take a safer tune with more timing pulled and higher octane - but with his power goals it should be fine not worrying about thaose factors as i said. Still, if he's replacing the pistons anyways, might as well keep the stock compression ratio with 01-04 pistons. And there's no reason to switch out to a forged crank while keeping the stock pistons, the pistons will go before the crank nearly always. I've actually never seen or heard of a cast crank fail first. MMR says they are good past 600rwhp, MPH says good past 600hp. Switching to a heavier forged crank with stock pistons doesn't make sense to me. [/QUOTE]
