Gonna start building a shortblock for my 95GT swap car. Running a Stage IV ported blower. Car will be on E85. What pistons would you run and what Compression Ratio would you suggest?

If it's strictly an e85 car run higher compression, 10-1 or something in that range.

what are the long term goals? are you going to eventually upgrade to a bigger tvs/whipple/kb?

10:1 minimum.
if i was staying with the ported eaton i would personally run 11:1 and ~15lbs. with the increased compression, you wont need to run the blower as hard and with the eatons, heat is your number one enemy.
id look into getting some custom Gibtec pistons.
