What type of budget are you on and what type of power do you want to lay down?

i'm not overly concerned about the budget, however if i can save some money all the better in the end. since i'm going with a turbo i would like to keep the compression ratio under 9.5:1.

so what is the best of the best?
and...
what is the best price/performance ratio?

thanks

for a b16 i believe the low compression pistons are 9.0:1

leitner performance can get them for you

For a nice setup, I'd probably say Pauter rods with Wiseco pistons. For a value setup, I'd say Eagle rods with Wiseco pistons.

remember to ge the block sleeved or atleast a block guard...other than that get je pistons and eagle rods, or if your really on a budget get je or srp's with stock rods and get them shot peened...b16 rods are decently strong so 10 psi wouldn't be a problem
