I see that a number of Scoob and EVO tuners are now switching to high compression.

I have just changed (Scoob) to high compression and the engine is awesome.... still managing 2bar boost on a straight VPower, but have much better response and more power at less boost and ignition.

Using a GT30 core we managed 485bhp at the fly on low boost of 1.45bar

and

486bhp at the HUBS on high boost of 1.8bar.

High compression is good.

do you find it makes them poor on fuel economy? or not much different?

just thinking of road car use really
