Default High compression piston question

Well here is my question i have an 05 kodiak and I want to buy a high compression piston for it. Can anyone help me out lead me to a site where I can get one or recommend what compression I need to buy. I do alot of pulling competitions and so on and I want the extra bit of power and would like to find some cams if possible.

My YFZ runs 11.9 to 1 stock, and runs on pump gas.
I have heard of guys going even higher compression and still running pump fuel, but I wouldn't do it myself.

i dont know anyone that has a rod out. But you can order a piston from wiesco or je for any compression i am sure. So 11.1 is the biggest right if so thats what i will order i dont mind running race gas I just want a bit more power because no one has a big bore kit out.

I think he was talkin about 11.1:1 for a bigbear, the YFZ has what is considered for most quads a after market rod...

That rod guidline is for the raptor, not a Kodiak.

Just looked at Wiseco. They only have 8.6:1 standard bore .50 bore and 1.00 bore. Bigger bore will give more power.
