Default Can i do this??

I have a stage3 4x4 cossie at the min, i think it has standard compression ratio.
Can i run T34 with 0.48 houseing, greys and 30 psi with these pistons or do i have to have low compression ones.
i will be fitting cometic head gasket or multilayer.

So if i had a 0.63 housing i could run 30 psi even though i have standard pistons?

If so how long are they going to last?

I thought you needed to lower compression because of the high boost levels.
