    that would be because you dont know anything. ideally you want as high as compression as possible without detonation. you will be fine if you get a good tune

    lol hate to say it, but he's right. you want as high as you can go without detonation. and the tune is where your car needs to be perfect, without it..you can be low compression and still fuck yourself over. lol

    i like 9.5:1 but 10.5:1 has been doen but with forged internals. prolly higher than that but i dnt reccomend it. JRC are ok if u want a lil extra power and dnt want to worry bout blowing ne hing up o having to refill a bottle. if u want to run low 13's or lower i dnt think thats gonna do it. it is very reliable though.

    he is going with the vortech no the JRC. but still you wont hit anything better than mid 13's
