Will a high compression piston increase your horsepower. Will i be ok runing premiem gas

 

yes it prolly will but what piston kit are u using and on what bike are u putting this on?

 

I am having my 200es threewheeler overhauled and was just wondering if it was worth going with the high compression pistons instead of putting stock back in it

 

What exactly is the difference in a high comp. piston and a forged piston, or are they the same thing?

I thought that high comp pistons were for 4 Strokes only?

Wiesco is one of, if not the, best manufacturer out their. sounds like a personal problem to me...

a high compression piston is a piston that increases the compression ratio by lowering the final volume on the compression stroke. A forged piston is one that has been "worked" into its final shape mechanically, as apposed to a cast piston that had the molten metal poured into a casting and it cooled to shape. The forged piston is almost always a stronger choice, depending on the piston material.

Why bother putting a high-comp. piston in that ATC?!?! The only result that will come from that is a meager power increase and a much shorter engine life.
