I have a set of 95+ pistons bore .020. how much horsepower can they handle? they are going to be going on some eagle rods. But should i stay away from 8.5.1 and go higher? Maybe the evo 8.7.1? Or even the 9.1.1, also which pistons are 9.1.1? I plan on running a 50 trim and want to each mid to low 11's. its a semi daily driver. Should i go JE pistons? bore .030 and 9.0.1? does JE even do that. I know this is a lot of questions, but i want to build an engine that will handle power and a lot of boost. any information would be great. I know a lot of sites offer the JE/eagle combo. what is everyone expereinces.
 
I believe JE pistons will make basically any piston for you. I know they have off the shelf pistons but they also have a custom order form on their site for pistons. One of the off the shelf pistons are a 9.0:1 on a 20. Remember that as you up your comp. ratio it gets harder to tune. The JE/Eagle combo seems like a good setup, I haven't heard anything bad about them and was planning on it myself at one point, but i think i told you that before.
