Yes you can use stock rods.

I'm curious because it kinda gives the impression that flat top pistons in the 20ve will give a similar compression (of course reliefs have to be installed)... Am I wrong?
I guess my question is how does cp pistons achieve 12.5;1 with such deep reliefs and a flat top?

N1, 16ve, 12.5:1 cp's are all domed.

You shouldn't have to run above 93 with N1 pistons. 16ve pistons I would be a little iffy about, but I have not tried them.
