It is really hard to beat the Wiseco / K1 piston & con rod set-up. (7 inch c to c connecting rod)
As far as high compression factory size SL6 pistons... you will need to have them custom made.

I had Ross make a set of thick deck 3.5" bore thin ring pistons. They were right at $120 each with pins, and another $240 for nitrous rings. That was buying 8 too.

Most any piston maker will do pistons to your specs. Make sure to ask prices BEFORE you order though. Ross charged $40 a piston to move the pin hole .100". I thought that was somewhat excessive when it was a custom piston anyway. :shock:

The Wiseco / K1 parts will get you 10 - 10.5 to 1 compression, depending on where your uncut block and head are.
