12785, Gary from AFX_Manufacturing
Posted by icedout, Jan-24-02 03:12 AM
Ok gary I have a question that i'm confused about. It is about compression ratio rebuild for a turbo. what is the best ratio I can use for street/strip. I'v heard go with 10.5:1 but some peeps say it's way too high and i need to go with 8.6:1 or 8.8:1. I need some clarification on this subject. I want to know what is the best and safest comp. ratio. I say safe as being that i don't want to be rebuilding my motor a month or even a few months down the road. i plan on adding the regrinds and gears and other stuff in the head. But i am confused on the ratio. Please let me know what is better
thanks
Gerard

I suggest the information contained within goes on the main page somewhere instead of the archive as it is good general info.

kinda depends on the kinda gas you wanna run. If your gonna be running on the street and strip get something that'll work good on pump gas. so long as you don't detonate you'll be fine.
