Why wouldnt u stick with low compression and just crank up the boost, as apposed to a bit higher compression and less boost? ---

Why wouldnt u stick with low compression and just crank up the boost, as apposed to a bit higher compression and less boost? who said i would turn down the boost with high compression? Minglor, i have used a 10:1 JE piston on the eagle rods, and maybe used a non vtec a6 head with a cam. that head had a better port design, and there is no quench. i think thats (the quench) causes the detonation and blown hg’s sohcs are known for… that and bad tuning ---

i would just assume that with a higher compression u wouldnt be able to run as high o boost numbers ---

wow dude… your bike runs 10’s with a good rider… i doubt ur gonna find a hatch that can touch that for 10g’s yet alone a reliable hatch, stick with the bike… chicks dig bikes… 😉 lol well most do… (I TOO got the hatch bug when i went for a ride in becks hatch when newman drove me around) but id NEVER sell the bike for it… ---
