The later engine is 8.8.1 IIRC so you don't need a decomp plate really.

Unless you were running big boost but then you would get forged pistons...

I know that Ant can get you a decomp one.

I think the o/s ones are available from the agents, though not sure.

If you are going for a high boost then the decomp would be the way to go, i guess.
