RE: compression drop

you will make alot more with the lower compression and higher boost.

RE: compression drop

Ok. I'm getting manley rods and diamond pistons. Anyone know how much boost they can handle? my mechanic told me 14-15 psi would be no problem

RE: compression drop

You have to remember staic compression doesnt really mean much on a running motor. Thats what the compression is if the valves remain closed. But you can run on 10:1 compresson fine and have a custom cam ground for you so it will releive some of that pressure while the pistons heading up to TDC so it essentially lowers the compression ratio.
