RE: cobra compression
what exactly does the compression ratio mean, like you said for a cobra it's 8.5:1. and also you can raise it to 15-20 psi with the stock eaton blower? or would you have to get a kenne bell to do something like that? or would the diablo chip with the eaton work fine?

RE: cobra compression
to my knowledge, i'm not to exact on this, compression ratios are figures based on piston configuration, air and fuel combustion ratios. the flatter the piston head the more pressure it will combust at the top of it's travel. domed piston create less compression because they have reliefs built in. the 03-04 cobras probably have domed pistons the lower compression (pressure) in the cylinders, thus not igniting the air/fuel mixture as strongly as a high compression engine. eaton blowers do not have enough volumetric efficiency to produce over 14 psi, so anything over the they are just creating heat not boost=detonation plus not horsepower gains. i hope this gives you a rough idea of your question
