might i add in at this point, they probablly ARE NOT forged, so they will act like our pistons at a higher temp, they will melt and shatter

chrissy keep us posted, chances are you might have to get some electronics to compensate for teh higher compression

keep the reciepts and add up the total cost when u get it done
