just wondering what everyone thinks about how high u can go with compression (NA…not boosted) on pump gas.
Also, i’m not going to be counting on stuff like crank triggers and stuff like that to dial in my timing. Im basin it off a straight up build with your typical msd’s and correct fuel. …just wonderin what everyone though… plus we need good techincal discusion threads anyway 😛

I would say that 13.1 is about the max for safe street running. 14.1 is posible but may be risky

hmm ask sailor… when his cabby was all motor, he was running crazy high compression. Oh wait a minute, that motor popped… ummm ask sailor and then run one point less than whatever he says 😃
