whats the best..

is like the higher the comp. the higher ur RPM goes??

hows does that work excatly

Twister

they higher the compresion, the more fuel can be burnt, in does not increase RPM

B

so it would make gas mileage worst?

would it add hp?

is there a advanage of higher or lower
?

The desired compression varies with your combination. For example, with most forced induction (barring any ridiculous setups like top fuel, etc ) you'll want a lower compression. NA can use higher compression with improved results. It really depends on your combination.

What are you planning?

knowledge is power.. sounds chessy but true

ok is he talking like the compression ratio,
or the actual compression of the engine.
and whats the relationship between the 2?

B

the one like shows up on mags.. like 12-1-3 or like 8-1-3.. or something

jzgt

You mean like how to figure compression ratio?

boss429

werd,
i dont know what you just tried to tell me

boss429

no theres like the compression ratio,
and then theres the compression you can get with a compression tester to check the integrity of an engine.

i was just wondering what the 2 have in common
