Recommendation for Forged Pistons and Connecting Rods

10.25 is too much for boost? then how do the modern engines get away with 10 to 1 and boost. it can be done, is it ideal No. I havent built a slant with those pistons or the longer rods but would bet the 10-10.25 to 1 is in a perfect world. I havent seen anyone actually post deck heights of them in a unmachined block. head CC's are also all over.

Modern engines have Al-U-minimum heads, CVVT/CVVD, which allows for constantly changing the dynamic compression as well as intentionally trapping exh. gasses for internal EGR, 3,4,or 5 engine coolant temp sensors, servo-actuated coolant control "zone" valves keeping all parts of the engine the desired temp, constantly monitored air-temp/inlet manny temp & pressure, servo-actuated wastgates, decent intercoolers, knock sensors, oil-jets spraying the undersides of the pistons(some of which now actually have flow passages)
& direct injection that is now in the 6,000psi range. Add more computing power & speed than the 1st Space Shuttle had on board, that's how. The same way they are running 13.5:1 NA on pump REGULAR. We don't have those tools at Our disposal, just sayin'....
