Ok so if you have been following along in the other thread youll know I have Patriot heads and cams, and I just got a forged shortblock with flat tops. Talking to the Engine builder and Patriot it looks like my Compression ratio will be (depending on gaskets and where my piston sit in the hole) between 9.6 and 10.9:1. If I end up with stock gaskets and the piston is at 0, I get the 10.9. With that being the case I would be limited to my choices and it would look like N2o.

What my real question is.. with that combo I am being told 6-8psi Max on the motor with a SC. Would it be worth it in HP gains, or should I just stick with the NOS?

Do not try to use flat top pistons in a blower application. Get 18 to 21 cc dished pistons.
