Any companies out there make pistons around 10 to 1? KB, TRW, Federal-Mogul?? Im looking to do the wee-05 pretty soon and am looking for something better than the 8.5 to 1 that is in it.

About the highest you can get off the shelf is flat tops, which are around 9.5:1 with 58cc heads. They are available from several sources. Sterling (F-M) sells hypereutectic ones, F-M sells TRW brand forged, etc.

Wiseco, Badger Piston, Keith Black, and TRW can make about anything if you want to pay for it. It is very easy for them to machine the skirts and grooves a paltry 0.267" deeper than they would a 350 cast piston. Keith Black has hypereutectic 305 sets with small domes that yield a 10.8:1 static ratio with stock rods and heads, for about $275.00 per set, rings included.
