the lower your compression the safer the higher the more responsive. i run an 8.6 pushed up to a 9. 8.8 is a good way to go with what your talkin

If you want to run close to the 20 psi range keep it below 8:1, my talon is 7.0:1 running 28 psi.
my neon unfortunately has to stay NA

you can actually call up the guys at JE pistons and they can make you a custom set of pistons with whatever compression you may want

may cost a lil more coming directly from the retailer...but a set of forged pistons alone(8.6:1) should run you around $450-$500
