Does anyone know of a manufacturer of forged pistons for the 5sfe that keeps the stock compression ratio? I would rather not lose power by dropping to 8.5:1. If not is there any way to raise the compression ratio higher by using a thinner headgasket?
In addition, would it be a bad idea to raise the compression from 8.5 to 9 by milling .023 off the block?

mill the head, not the block, so much easier =)

as long as valves dont hit the pistons =)

I am am running forged for a NA/nitrous build.

And i will consider custom but it depends on how much they cost, do you have a ballpark?

CP Pistons, Ross I think. Arias makes the rods I think
And I know you post here a lot, you know the drill. Search

Stock compression ratio on a 5S-FE is 9.3:1.

Forget about milling the head/block. Buy the right pistons.
