Seeing that most of this thread was done over 3 years ago it would be good to see the doubters and believers opinions now on low cr and a better cr...
Iv said now for years that the closer the cr to std the better the engine and the better the response,back then i was told my engine wouldnt last 5 mins!!!
I had an rs 500 running 8.0.1 back in 96 with t4 8 greys etc etc doing 520 hp and that was awesome compared to any low cr set up iv had /driven and since 2006 have been running 8.6 cr in my race car and its still on the same pistons....low cr is not needed anymore full stop...
