non-turbo pistons aren't just higher compression, they also have thinner, weaker ring lands.

Turbo on left, N/T on right:

Yeah I know, they are still good for 300whp as long as you don't detonate and detonating on e85 isn't easy

Why bother though, 18psi on a 16g an E85 is weak sos.

Yeah it is but that's what I have for now and I want to do it improve my out of boost power cuz 7.8:1 makes these cars weak as hell off boost, and I also don't have a turbo piston, if I happen to find a turbo piston for free then I'll put that in cuz I only destroyed one of mine, and btw I'm not making a high boost race car, I wouldn't try this with the hx52 e85 gsx that I'm helping a friend build, this is just a beater and I want to see if it changes the power it makes

Stock Evo pistons work too and they are 8.8:1
