CR and pump gas question

Stay away from the open chamber ede heads.... run the closed chambers.

JMO, why push the edge on compression and tune up when the marginal gains from an extra .5 in compression are usually minimal. Street car, run compression at a level where even if you had to put some rancid pump piss in it, it would run.

I agree, I'm not trying to push the compression to run it as high as possible. I'd much rather run around 9.7:1. The stroker kits available are either a forged piston at this CR 10.1:1 CR or a hypereutectic piston at around 9.5:1. I'd much rather go forged with the numbers I'm looking to make, but if I have to put together the kit myself to get some other pistons rather than use the preassembled kit ones, I'm going to be paying a lot more for basically the same exact thing but with like .4 lower compression...
