high comp is a nice buzz word that folk wank over, but the realitys different.

lower comp = higher boost = torque

dont matter how low the power is off boost anyhow, who the fook is under 3500 if trying to drive quickly, and the lairyer cams and headwork needed to get good power while not running the big boost lower comp would allow would fuck low down power a lot more than lower comp, and would raise the boost threshold too, something lower comp on its own dont really do.
and well said

is this project STILL going..

thought porkie lost interest totally when he saw the bad boy light surround lol..

I think you are gonna have to face it fudgy boy... you are gonna have to spend that £200 on a water rail

painful as it may seem, they dont give EVERYTHING away lol



EDIT: porkie and stavros. there was a whole conversation between me and fudge that bought about me saying about keeping it high comp (or higher than is)
mainly that (Sadly) fast ford just cant give fudge the money to be able to AFFORD a fast car.. simple.. so why not keep it realistic, slower and a bit nicer to drive round town, was the thinking behind it, but I guess that kinda got missed lol.. it all made sence.... at one point

but obviously i was wrong for moi lol

when the fuck will i be driving it round town?

im not a chavvy boy racer cunt that cruises the local high street in my 205 gti

the only times the car will be used is to drive to and from a show, or if i fancy going for a blast.

its NOT going to be a daily driver, and i wont be taking it shopping to sainsburys, but not because i cant afford to shop at sainsburys mind

the whole point of the car is to make it fast - ie run lots of boost, you cant do that on a 11:1 CR

anyway, gotta get the fooker running first
