Porsche Crest 96mm or 94mm "EURO"?

I tried a search but didn't find anything right on point.

I have a set of 96mm NPR p/c in nearly as new condition (see some of my previous post) These are 85-87 manufacture and something less than 1000 miles on them.

Question is, assuming a mild build with a web 73 cam, rimco heads (true 2.0 heads) and D-Jet:

Would these or standard "EURO" pistons make better power?

Euro's would make a more reliable engine as the 96mmNPR if they get too hot have problems. They are a little thin in some spots.

Depends on a lot of things. If you can set the compression with the 96es so that it equals the 8.0:1 that you probably have with the European 94s, you will probably get more power out of more displacement.

Porsche Crest

good enough then.

I guess I should think about it a bit more.

And yes, I have been following the "webcam #73 and D-jet" thread.
