I want it to be a street ride with a little bit of balls.... Not planning on taking it to the track or anything like that. Just want to keep the stock appearance and hopefully not spend a ton of cash...

Talked with my buddy and the stock replacement forged piston is made by Ross, part# 57989 and figure on paying $700 - $900 for a set. You are going to pay about the same for the Egge cast piston. Is your motor getting tired? If you are lucky you may get away with a clean-up hone in the cylinders. If you want i'll keep an eye out for a set of TRW forged replacements. Not made anymore but they are out there. Saw two sets at Spring Fling. Buddy of mine bought one of them and the other went quickly. you can always go with the 2 barrel flat top which would give you 8.8CR and with a little head work you could get that 9.1 cr.
