There are a few great threads on here from the past about putting high compression pistons in a Continental and now that more time has gone by I'd like to revisit the subject and ask a few questions.
- From what I can see there are 3 primary high compression Continental piston providers, NFS, LSE and Ly-Con. Has anyone had issues running any of these pistons?
- The NFS pistons are 9-1 and others probably have that compression as well, can you run Mogas reliably at this compression?
- Do the high compression pistons make enough of a performance increase at NORMAL operating ranges to warrant the time and expense of installing them? One of the posters seems to exceed redline regularly, that's not what I'm talking about. I'm referring to a C-90 or O-200 operated within the normal RPM range with high compression.
- Are there any pistons that we should stay away from?
- Are there any piston providers that I didn't list that are recommended?
