is compression under 9:1 to low to run without a adder for a little while. Adder= S/C, Turbo, NOS. Thanks for the help <edited><editID>619socalstang</editID><editDate>38012.9185416667</editDate></edited>

no you could run low compression without a power adder hooked up... it just wouldnt be that power full. That is what I would prolly do .. break the motor in then add the blower later on when more money came

your stang has 9:1 now

the lower compression isnt going to hurt anything but youll be lacking alot of power
