Default 01 compression?

im going to use the 01 miata pistons in my escort gt build and was wondering what these would bump my compression too? for my class i race in the max i can have is 225 so wondering how close i will be to that with these pistons.

225 what? your probably about to be put on blast. The compression ratio is common knowledge a very simple search will yield your answer.

10:1 you'll be lucky to break 147whp.

Search for 01+ miata compression test results and take the highest you find? That won't answer your question (or really give you a clue) if your head is shaved, you need to calculate that based on YOUR engine.

You'll be well under 225psi.

From the 01 service manual:




What this means in your engine, who knows. But this is what you want to see, right?
