i ordered low compression pistons and rods for my ga16de , had to be custom made do you think 320whp is possible ? dunno how much power the crank is good for

What compression ratio are you hoping to get? 9:0; 8.5:1, 8:1? Also, what rods are you using? It would all depend on what turbo and internal combinations you are running. I know stock GA16DE internals are good for 300+ bhp, but I don't know about wheel ratings, and it really depends on the quality parts you had made.

Did you think about using E-series connecting rods? I know E-series guys use GA16 rods to lengthen their stroke; I figure a GA16DE with E-series rods would shorten ours and give us lower compression.

I could be wrong but, wouldn't shorter rods decrease the displacement?

People have made over 300WHP on the stock bottom end actually. SHould be no problem on a built setup!

Actually the rod length has nothing to do at all with displacement. Shorter rods for a given piston design will decrease compression and reduce the rod ratio, nothing more. For increased stroke, you need a crankshaft with longer crank throws.
