2.2L pistons
I was wondering which type of compression of piston i should get with my 2.2L with stage 2 cams and all the mods in my sig? Im taking any suggestion on which ratio i should run
Well based on your debadging and painted calipers I would say go with a 10.5:1 or 11.0:1.
Seriously though if your gonna stay NA the only piston worth paying the money and time to swap to is an 11.0:1 Your gonna need to stick to a diet of premium fuel though. IMO 10.5's are a waste since its only half a point of CR and it may not even be that once you take into account head gasket thickness, etc... If theres any chance youll go forced induction just got a forged stock replacement(10.0:1)
You can get custom pistons from just about anybody that makes pistons for the L61 but I personally like JE, and know that they will make you whatever you want for about $150-170 per piston including rings, pins and locks.

You might see 2-3 HP from going from the stock 10:1 to 10.5:1 pistons, IMO it is not worth all the extra $ and time to custom build a set....
10:1 is for N/A and the 9:1 is for the FI/nitrous setups....
