I am planning on using the frpp supercharger on a 2001 engine swapped into a 96gt, my question is later on down the road I plan on upping the boost to 9# (it will run 6# for the time being). I am in the process of getting a forged bottom end, my question is which piston dish would be better for my application, 18cc or 11cc dish? Would there be a noticable difference in power between the two? Thanks for any help.

There should be a pretty substantial difference between the two. The one that will give you more compression will give you more power, but you may not be able to run as much boost. Sorry to go all captain obvious on ya, but you would also be able to run more boost on the lower compression pistons. Which in turn would give you more power as well. It's really your personal preference.

18cc. 11cc will leave you with too much compression, especially for a roots blower.
