you can't buy forged pistons for the CVH. You skim the crowns to whatever CR you require.

Surely with higher compression you need superb managment and fuelling so nothing goes wrong. I expect the throttle response is miles better though????and low comp pistons with rings are something like 137 for cosworth each or 100 odd for mahle/accralite from burtons
