Message	Seems that forged pistons have lower compression numbers than stock cast ones. Not sure if this is a difference in the ring materials, ring to cylinder wall seal, ring gaps, etc, but it seems to be the norm. It is almost counter-intuitive because heads and blocks are generally decked to restore the sealing surfaces, which would logically increase compression ratio. A drop would be expected with thicker HG, but even with oem gasket, the numbers always seem to be about 10 points below stock. Anyone...?

That would likely - MixManMash 08:15:35 09/24/16 The piston rings contain the pressure, not the piston - ZXoltan 08:48:17 09/24/16 cranking compression typically suffers a bit with big cams - LitlElvis 14:54:40 09/23/16 This. (n/m) - MixManMash 19:08:33 09/23/16 Agreed, Brett, but what about forged motors w stock cams?
