Default wiesco 8.6-8.0:1 or cp 9.0:1 pistons

i have a gsr block which im boosting. looking at new pistons. had eye on supertech pistons but could only find 10.0:1 for my gsr for 405 with rings. I seen wiesco have a 8.6-8.9:1 piston for about 480 with rings and shipping. cp have a 9.0:1 pitson with rings for about 580. which of the two are better or if the supertech is best overall. Ill be running about 20psi. Dont know what is the best piston. if it comes down to 100 bucks ill spend the money just need an educated opinion

only problem is with the diagram i cant tell which is the 9:1 cp cause it doesnt show. so did it make less power or more. not only that the diagram shows about 9psi opposed to 20psi. any opinion on that or suggestions

The chart shows the 10:1 pistons making more power.

Id say cp because over all they are better and the higher compression will make more power also. Iv also heard that cp price has dropped a little
