well right now my ltr has a je 13.5-1 piston but its ready to be replaced
so im looking at a cp 13.75-1 and
the venom/cp 14.25-1

i already run straight klotz 113 so race fuel isnt an issue but will the 14.25 be too high and make it unreliable?
and any other info on these 2 would be great

have been putting cp 13.75 pistons in most my builds for the past 3 years. I've only had one failure, and that was an engine with over 75hrs on same piston and rings plus head was decked. that was a single ring piston too. any of the 3 pistons will work with that octane

eventually a 14.25-1 is going to royally destroy your crank. 13:1 did it to mine. If you put in a stronger aftermarket crank you would be more reliable cause it could deal with the increase in power. But putting a hi comp piston in either way is going to lower reliability.
