Hi,
That all depends on how much you take out of the head. On 9.4:1 and intercooled with mapped ignition you should get 10psi in there no problem. You may get a bit more if your lucky.... I wouldn't think the piston would be the limiting factor.
Cheers,
Gavin :)

Pinking is more likey to be your limiting factor!

When they say 9.4:1 CR I think there just refering to dish size e.g standard 11cc.

The Minispares Mega pistons are supposed to be excellent. I can't see you having any trouble with your proposed 14psi.

i ran 14psi on 9.4 cr with intercooler but 12 was a safe bet.

with supurb of boost econamy and pickup which you dont get with low cr.

but mine will change this year.
