8.8:1 vs 10.5:1

[shaneyeend]

So if an egine is gona be running high psi like 20+ and nitruos 100+ i was thinking that the 8.8's would be best, because we need to lower the compression so the head doesn't blow off, but i was thinkin mybe our engine could handle 10.5's with a high set up? more air/fuel + higher compresion = more power... At least thats what i would think. Lets hear some opinions...

well since ur asking for opinions, in my opinion that would not work i dont think. You would proble throw a rod out very easy and what does turbo do.... it basically adds allottt more air to fuel. So in my opinion making a higher compression will just make the car even easier to blow under boost. maybe for a non turbo person they would gain more torque.

Myabe, if your engine was rebuild VERY heavily...and expensively....it would work, but if not your gonna blow it up sooner or later i can almost guarante it unless the boost is absurdly low...
