You dont really have to its not a bad idea to go with 10:1 though. the 8.9:1 i got could eaisly keep me from making my 400whp goal though, but well see.

The top ringlans are very small on the stock pistons ANY detonation will crack them.

8.9:1 is what i got aswell.
lower compression is what you want for boosted applications.
