Compression vs boost tradeoff

[quote=“rskrause,post:25,topic:35023"”]

Have you ever driven one of these “sluggish” high boost low CR cars? Mine is so sluggish that you need a spare pair of shorts. Maybe turbos are that way - I have less experience with them.

yes.
for example these:

i’ve driven my own boosted setups: 8.7:1 vs 8.2:1, both turbo

i’ve driven chucks 9:1 D1SC vs 8.5:1 F1C.

id say thats a pretty nice spectrum. although there were other contributing factors, i would say approaching the 7s:1 SCR def makes the car a little more sluggish down low :gotme:

i’ve also driven stock engine procharged and turbo cars, and they are def more peppy with 10:1
