Default Quick ZVH question

If you use the vauxhall C20XE pistons what compression ratio do you get? Or do they need skimming? And what sort of boost can they handle? Cheers dudes.

c/r is around 8:1 without skimming them, not sure what they handle but iirc its more than the standard zetec rods can.

Will also depend on the thickness of your head & what head gasket you use mate.
