So...............can we finalise the debate on whether high compression is a good thing or not.
How do you run good power with high compression as the theory/fact is you cant run lots of boost due to det.
I have slightly high compression and have a similar setup to kismet, yet I could not get anywhere near 1.9 bar:runaway:
If you cannot possibly run higher boost levels because of high compression then what is the BEST way to lower the compression....thicker gasket?
Someone stated this on the forum before:
with higher compression you get bigger power from each burn in the cylinder. The higher the compression the more difficult it is to control det so a common route seems to be lower the compression ratio to allow a bit more boost to be run.
Naturally this affects off boost performance, the decision is then up to the owner/tuner as to how much of a problem this is.
