I am building the engine up, and I do not know if I should go with 8.8:1 or 9.5:1 comp ratio. I am gonna turbo it really soon, so what u think?

Wiseco or JE?

8.8 or 9.5?

My opinion..

JE 8.8:1

You could go higher comp but you'd have to be a lot more careful with tuning. And that doesnt mean tuning will not be important on the 8.8:1.
