Keep in mind Iam looking boosting around 16psi.
My engine builder here in San Antonio runs a performance shop and is also a Certified Master Infiniti Technician. He HIGHLY recommends using CP Pistons for his GTR or VQ builds. He told me to go with a standard bore 10:1 or 9:5.1. I chose the latter. I asked him why not .20 oversized, he told me that he has built hundreds of blocks while at Infiniti and there was not one that needed to go with overbore pistons. He also mentioned of how thin the VQ sleeves already were in stock form. My 9:5.1 pistons are custom made from CP and purchased through Kyle at IPP. If SA, Texas isn't too far from you, I highly recommend my builder.
