Rob,

Is 91 octane the only change? Will we need colder spark plugs or different oil? If we want a piggyback, should we wait until there is a "piston upgrade" tune?

No piston upgrade tune. No promises but I bet we play with that at some point. 91 octane should be the only change for guys.

Does 4k mean $4000.00 ? How many hours is the install?

$4000 for install is not true. Should be less than a $1000.

no doubt, and you'd really be better off finding a buddy who's got some tools and having them help you. You'll enjoy your car that much more when you've done some major work to it. could do it in a full day if you were really really slow and careful about it

how would these higher compression pistons work with a thinner head gasket? i remember seeing one a while back, but i cant find it right now. would that raise the compression above 10.5:1?
