thats pretty damn low.. good thing it has a turbo, it wouldnt make hardly any torque with a centrifugal supercharger.

Umm okay? Whats your point? Its really not that low its actually right where it should be if you want to run a lot of boost and not run race gas all the time and make a good amount of power on pump gas.....

You've got to make the power one way or another, so I'm told. The lower your compression ratio is, the more boost you can run, right? Problem is, it'll be more of a dog when the boost isn't there.

I'm at 9.2:1. Glad I didn't go 8.5 as I had planned.

Good shit i agree

Every combo is diffrent the lower compression might be better for his set up.... As the 9.5.1 is better for your set up i suppose just depends what you are looking for :beer:
