Anyone?

I know JL is running a stocker motor, but don't know what he is running for compression ratio.

But has anyone lowered the compression ratio nand realy turned up the boost?

You don't need lower compression to run lots of boost.

true, but if you lower the compression think about how much bost you can run, lets say "twin turbo"

Lowering the compression ratio does nothing more than lower the overall efficiency of the motor. It just plain doesn't pump as well.

Keep the compression up and raise the boost.......then all you need is the octane to back it up
