#4059, "Compression Ratio and Nitrous?(Any nitrous users?)"
Hello all! this is my first post but i have been reading this board for a week or so now. i have a 1997 RS and i have all the usual bolt-ons(I/H/E/Pulley) and also a nitrous express nitrous system. In a month or so i will be rebuilding my engine so i can use a bigger shot of nitrous. im running a 50-shot and i want to do a 100-shot or so. i want to use the new Eagle Rods from Howell Automotive, but i cant decide on pistons. i would like to get a higher compression ratio piston, like a 10.6:1 or 11:1. Would this be ok to use with nitrous? if not what is the highest ratio i should go with? i have a Walbro 255 pump if that helps any. Does anyone besides JE make pistons for our cars? i know some places can custom make them, id like to use Ross Pistons,,anyone know what dimensions/specs i would need to give them to make me a set?(id like to not have to bore the block over) last question...and this is probably for the nitrous section.... when i go up to the 100 shot after i build the engine, would i be better off selling my standard wet kit and going with a NX direct port kit? thanks very much for any advice or help.
