i have to disagree with you. there are many reasons to go with higher compression pistons. look at all the power these motors are putting down with stock compression. higher compression means more power off boost and a different hp/tq curve. i understand that lowering compression can allow for more boost and a great top end.. but i don't think everyone is going to be pushing the limits of this block. a higher compression forged piston replacement would be ideal for someone looking to make around 400whp with great daily driving character/off boost power. thats exactly what i will be looking to do.
