Default NEW pistons Higher compression ratio

my motor recently scored a cylinder wall bad im going to need to rebore my block, id like to go .25 over bore on the motor, aswell as higher compression ratio.

what pistons are a good brand you all have had expirience with?

what compression ratio would be good for 92 octane and maybe race fuel once in a while with a tune?

12.5 would be the highest with 92 octane and a really good tuner.
with 12.5 its not going to be safe
11.5 you should be safe
if i was you i would just buy a jdm block from hmotorsonline 11.7 comp

^What he said. The higher compression you run, the less timing you can run safely; assuming you're using the same fuel.

Your only choices for FRM friendly F20 pistons are OEM, J's, and Toda. And I believe J's are just balanced JDM pistons. If you sleeve the block you have all kinds of choices.
