Message	But my understanding/thinking (misdirected and flawed possibly) is sure, a bit higher compression is fine for a mid to low boost and moderate power car, (again variables come in to play) but for higher power and those looking to run higher boost numbers lower compression is what you want. Then the ideal set-up for a mainly street driven car may be a set of 550bb, 9to1 c/r, full breather mods, full 3" exhaust, built heads, and 14-17psi, 93 oct. I would think that this set-up would not take full advantage of the breather mods and would be more efficient with a lower c/r at that boost? The OP never mentioned build intentions that I saw.

Most people with aftermarket pistons are ~9:1 - Antihero 16:48:54 02/11/13 I was actually just looking into this. - AHos(Chicago) 15:29:14 02/11/13 I can see where the confusion is - Zvil (FL) 09:47:10 02/12/13 I went 9.2:1 compression. - Woody75 (Denver) 10:16:55 02/12/13 Definitely agree! More compression is usually better.. - flashstar 14:06:32 02/12/13 yep - aliaZ 21:29:51 02/12/13 I actually just sent you an email about this. - AHos(Chicago) 23:13:13 02/12/13 yep. I'll respond later... (n/m) - aliaZ 06:48:50 02/13/13 No rush. Just checking. Thanks! (n/m) - AHos(Chicago) 09:35:35 02/13/13 Ok no one argues that. - white22sky 09:39:55 02/13/13 I maxed my turbos out (28psi) and I was still fine. - Woody75 (Denver) 09:54:39 02/13/13 28psi? was that on pump gas? (n/m) - Zvil (FL) 10:16:01 02/13/13 No (n/m) - Woody75 (Denver) 10:21:58 02/13/13 28PSI is in the area I was thinking. - white22sky 11:02:44 02/13/13 My reasoning would lead me to believe - Zvil (FL) 12:12:54 02/13/13 ALSO - Zvil (FL) 12:23:48 02/13/13 Yes. - white22sky 13:09:44 02/13/13 yep, and it's also the same reason in a roundabout way - Zvil (FL) 20:01:02 02/13/13 So lower compression makes a more efficient turbo, generally - white22sky 10:22:26 02/14/13 Re: Ok no one argues that. - Properstyle 06:40:39 02/18/13 With today's turbos and breather mods, these cars make boost - zellamay 10:41:13 02/12/13
