Supertech Pistons

Im starting buying parts for my build and want to go with 9.5 compression, keeping the tear drop shape at the piston dome. Looks Supertech will do it but they need a batch of at least 3 sets. Anyone interested?

What is your reason for keeping the tear-drop chamber?

Im not expert, I guess is a tuner/ engine builder thing. Mine says it helps to spray and "wet" the cilynder walls and the valve head to keep them as cool as they can. Im not sold with that theory but I guess I have to trust the builder.
