Question for the engine guys... I just bought a stroker kit with cast pistons got a fine price , blah blah blah.... Factoring in a good spark curve with no detonation , how far has anyone pushed the compression ratio on cast pistons?? more importantly... with out breaking one ...lol ...This would be a gasoline motor more than likely ... no ethanol suppliers close by around here... and no nitrous or blower

thanks anyone
