For pointing out you were having a go at someone for no reason, wow, interesting viewpoint.
They may disagree on things but i'm pretty sure all can build a 600bhp engine just fine...so it doesn't matter in the slightest who i listen to.
Well if you believe Karl when he says build it low comp is the BEST way and you believe Mark when he says build it high comp is the BEST way, what decision would you then make on your own engine?

I personally wouldnt specifically change the compression at that power level, but on the other hand if you are rebuilding it anyway (which IS a good idea if you want it to last) then lower Comp is a perfectly acceptable way to go, not the choice I would make myself but still acceptable.
His dad may have built lots of T34 engines that make 400bhp...but i'd personally be surprised if any were on standard head/cams.
Im sure Mike R or J1mbo can give you some details of that.
And if they were then i'd suspect turbo's would be very stressed, even ones with cut back turbines!
Cossie Rich's T34 on a low comp engine did 17000 hard miles before it finally died, at 2.3 bar IIRC
And please don't pick apart this post and quote each little sentence seperately, as;
1) You bore the fuck out of me.
2) it's not getting the questions answered and is unfair on the guy asking questions!
Actually it IS getting the question answered, as its getting across the fact that you are wrong to keep saying things cant be done the way j1mbo is saying, when the fact is they CAN
Ive no interest at all in if I am boring you or not, my interest is just in the poster getting good advice.
