Message	Sorry I've been out of the loop, the whole reason the question came up is becuase I am running the GTX 2867s, Now by what I've seen they don't really shine until 19plus PSI. so the debate was to maybe go to a lower compression to use the turbos to their potential. The orginall build plan which starts on the 1st was to go to a 9.1 compression ratio so I could improve the issue with lag that I was having and then just run E85 to counter the detonation that would be seen with pump gas at this ratio. After speaking with ASh the idea of running the 8.1 was thrown around and I was looking to see if any one had experience with the 8.1 and what their opinion was.

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
