Default Alusil friendly High compression pistons

Does anyone know of a company manufacturing Alusil friendly high compression pistons? (11.5-13:1).

I am going to try an experiment with an extra engine I have.

Info greatly appreciated.

unfortunately the JE materials expansion rate is not compatable with aluminum bores and are meant for sleeved engines.

I am looking for more of the stock material as a drop in. I thought maybe some of the NA racers have seen something??

really?

i asked them if they could make me a batch of 8:0 compression pistons for an S2 engine (possible route with SC) and they said they could do that easily and that they "do it all the time".

are they just not eutectic enough?
