what compression pistons would be best suited for na tuning around 200hp, and also who to buy from??
also what are some good cam grinds....
does anybody know what the setup was in the concept new 240Z that had 200hp??
I dono what octane you'd have to run, but 11:1 sounds a little high to me for daily use. What's stock compression, 9.xx:1?

10.5 is as high as you want to go on our gas. Unless your into buying race gas daily.
Nismo, JWT, and a few others have KA cam grinds.

so prolly 10.5:1 pistons would be good enough for daily use...
how would higher compression pistons affect the use of nitrous?
they will be forged pistons anywho but still want to know

you can get a set of je pistons made to your exact specifications. i have tried 11.0:1 pistons and had to use 106 octane gas. i think raising compression is not a good idea if your using nitrous...too much heat in the chamber. you will also probably be milling your head a little to get it straight if your putting pistons in, so your compression will be raised a little bit more also...keep that in mind. I have also tried 10.5:1 pistons and still had to spike the gas with race fuel. your stock cooling system can not handle that much heat from the higher compression. if you want to run 93 octane stay at maybe 10.0:1 just my opinion from expeirence
