I know Rod Tarry uses CP Pistons at rather more Power than most, so thin they may be but very strong.

Since neither of those companys do straight fit pistons to Cosworth, both of these pistons are been custom made in to the specs customer gives so it depends what is been told to the manufacturer. But they are both good piston makers.

8:2.1 on 450 bhp , not quite 500, but thinking of building the next level engine( 550 bhp ) and will stick to the comp ratio.
far more responsive than a friends old 7:2.1 engine
check with your tuner if he can map it at a higher comp before building though!!!!
