...really depends on your mapper.
I personally only ever run 7.8-1 minimum whatever BHP i aim for..tried lower but drivability suffers...but then mine is only a road car..i guess if your tracking it lo comp is the answer....but not 6.9-1 low
Yes you can still run std cams with those pistons..but by the looks of the cutouts you could run 14's,16's...

prob going for stage 3.they will be going in a 4x4 engine so it will be 7.5/1 CR.will a lower compression ratio cause more turbo lag or worse throttle response or any other detrimental effects?
