86535, compression numbers
Posted by bzoss, Feb-28-05 11:50 AM
Just curious what are some expected compression numbers to get with 10.5:1 pistons
12.5:1 pistons as well

I am seeing about 280-290 psi on what are suppost to be 10.5:1 pistons. I fear that they are in reality 12.5:1, and I am going to be investing in a lot of race fuel to get rid of some agravating detonation.

thanks!

might wanna chop that sig down. noone wants to read your mod list every post. and good luck trying to run more then 10.5:1

You could run 11.5:1 on 93 with stock timing. 12.5:1 is possible on 93 pulling a few degrees of timing up top.

you CAN run 12.5:1 with pulling timing, but I have to pull the damn timing so much that the benefits of high compression are way more than lost.

Why not just run Water /Methonal then imo.
