Re: Opinions on my compression

I'm confused. Why would anyone recommend a CR that would require race fuel? I didn't read where the guy said it was a race only car. Is this a continuation of another thread?

His CR is too low for the the cam, regardless of nitrous use. A 250hp nitrous shot virtually mandates race gas, whether the CR was 10:1, 9:1, 11:1, etc.

OK, thanks Rich. Read that implication elsewhere in this thread, but guess I wasn't aware of that before.

EDIT and Off Topic:
