Mahle Pistons

Does anyone know where to get Mahle pistons for a 03? Or do they not make them yet for CR's?

lower compression pistons

Hey, how much power can you gain (or safety, I've heard) by going to lower compression pistons?
I'm talking about big turbos, lots of fuel, and people use lower compression pistons-I guess you can cram more air and fuel in using them?

Thats kind of any open question....
Its more like "how much money do you got?"

Right now there are B's running 2000hp.

It really all depends on your combonation, on the street you'll lose bottom end power by lowering compression but can gain on the mid and top if you have enough air volume and fuel.

I guess you are affiliated with Floor it diesel?
Does your 10 sec CR use lower compression pistons?
It wouldn't be a stock short block at 1032 HP?
What connection is there between the Artic Airs twins and the 10 sec. common rail, I've heard different things, you use 1 different charger ?
Is there a map page to the Floor It website, so I can look at everything there? I saw an article there on CP-3 FCA modifications, but it was linked from another web site, probably TDR, from RCOXX, I think.

Does Mahle have anything for the 2nd Gen engines? Or maybe these will work?
