No, not aimed at you Mart. It's just I remember a lot of people running low comp pistons and also a lot of tuners selling them way back when (showing my age?!).....
I see the advantages in running higher C/R on a day to day basis as you mentioned, It's just my feeling for ultimate power you'd be better off with standard.
Thing is tuners sold them as its was the only way to solve det and run more boost, they didnt have much option to tune IGN and the way they tuned carbs was dog ****.Originally Posted by Alex

The standard compression of the GT is low, and to low for factory boost levels, but i guess its what renault did to keep the engine safe with that **** carb in place. But remember these days we have ways to tune ign and manage the carb alot better and with EFI etc etc its easier to control det. Ill point out also that the fastest FWD uk car runs around 10.0 -1 with around 40psi of boost...
With my old car runing 120mph trap this was with a lower CR by just shaving the tops to flat tops, i did this due to running NOS and only having the flywheel pick up to adjust timing. At stock CR with say 25psi and 25hp shot you will det (well i did). i had to drop this CR so i could raise the NOS more, which out ways the power lost by dropping compression. I also used my wet kit like a fith injector to help aid the fueling of the carb. If i had EFI i would have done my build differently.
Dudes... just looking to buy my cam... Cat Cams have recommended their 5500327 profile cam, but I'm struggling like mad as to how the hell you can find it on their website and buy it?!?!
I've got a feeling they haven't updated their website so I'll have to give them a call first thing to purchase.
