cs82685, yeah, I'm looking into what the options are for speed parts. I just want to go N/A for now and later when he's got some miles under his belt (and some to time to save up some money) then we're talking turbo. Which brings me to an interesting dilemma.
I'd like to keep the stock 9.6:1 compression ratio to keep power up for the time it's going to spend N/A but I know there's more power to be had with a lower static compression when it's boosted (more room to pack with fuel and air and therefore more room before you hit the limit on dynamic compression. ie; you can run more boost before you get detonation).
So, my two thoughts on the subject are build it solid (hopefully with a little more HP than stock) and replace the pistons when the time comes or run lower than stock compression pistons with a milled head to get the compression back up then when the time comes replace the head. I'm leaning heavily toward the piston swap for a number of reasons. What do you guys think?
