swap pistons.

why lower compression, stock compression is fine for running a 100shot. i wouldnt run more then that tho

not when your already supercharged...

cuz the compression is already shot up from that.

iam sorta glad i went the nitrous only way out. because i don't have to worry about acheiving full boost. its power on demand always. threw every gear.

dont know what i was thinking, missed the sc.

if the block is stock, you cant running any n2o regardless of compression. 14psi should be making enough power to put you into the block splitting range. if the car isnt dyno tuned i wouldnt even get on the gas. and with the intercooler, youll just make more power
