Low compression makes no power? Well hell. I better tell that to my marks' motor that's putting out 330Ft lbs AT THE WHEELS with 8.5:1 CR.

When did I ever say that low compression makes no power? I'm looking through the thread again, but I can't seem to find where I ever said that.

Who ever said that low compression does not work? Don't stick words in my mouth. Low compression engines are built properly, and so are high compression ones. You're the only person trying to say that one way is "bad" or "improper". The furthest I have gone is to state that both methods are effective.

Low compression works better for streetcars, because you don't need alcohol kits or high octane fuel.

I never asked what you care about. I never asked for your opinion at all. The people driving these cars are not you. I don't recall ever asking for your opinion. If that's how you feel, that's your own business.

You posted a thread on a public forum, and have continually responded to me - so I guess you are in fact pretty interested in my opinion.

No, I never said that at all. I said that the power losses experienced with a lower compression will not be experienced with a higher compression. It's simple mathematics and physics.

You only lose ~4% of total power per point of compression. With lower compression, you can run higher boost which = more power without alcohol kits.

Who said anything like that? I said that at any compression, there will BE AN ADVANTAGE to running alky. Not that you can run any compression with alky.

No you didn't. You said "It is better. At any compression, an engine running straight alky can run a high end race gas tune with no penalties."

I tend to think that a connecting rod landing in the next county over is indeed a "penalty".

I fill my windshield washer fluid tank more times than I fill my alky tank. Pouring liquid is not exactly a laborious task. And in return for the massive labor of pouring in a liquid every 750-1500 miles, I get more power, more torque, and a wider power band than an engine built the way you prefer.

You must not drive your car very much. My friend Miles has an alky kit on his Mustang and he's filling the damn thing up all the time.


Meh, talk all you want. Nobody I know that has cars in that power level that are driven on the street regularly agree with you. Nobody.

I'll stick with my crappy 8.8:1 CR 422. I'm sure that with the T-Trim, it won't have a nice fat powerband.

That's your opinion. There are literally hundreds of thousands of street cars running meth and have no problem with it. Snow Performance alone has sold hundreds of thousands of kits. Let's not even get into all the companies that came before, and all of the ones that came after, and were made side by side.

You posted a thread on a public forum, and have continually responded to me - so I guess you are in fact pretty interested in my opinion.

No I am not. I was interested in the technical facts. What you think about anything does not matter to me, hence why I have ignored your opinion and specifically told you that I am ignoring it. I still am. You want to discuss technical aspects, fine. You want to discuss your opinion? I don't give a sh!t.

You only lose ~4% of total power per point of compression. With lower compression, you can run higher boost which = more power without alcohol kits.

That's not true at all. Don't make me pull out my magazines and start scanning articles where V8 engines lost 50 HP due to dropped compression alone. It's one thing when you are talking about engine that makes a whole 280HP N/A, but when you start dealing with engines that make a lot more than that N/A, they can lose alot due to compression.

No you didn't. You said "It is better. At any compression, an engine running straight alky can run a high end race gas tune with no penalties."

I tend to think that a connecting rod landing in the next county over is indeed a "penalty".

No greater penalties that an engine built the way you say is "proper".

1. He needs to tune it better.

Meh, talk all you want. Nobody I know that has cars in that power level that are driven on the street regularly agree with you. Nobody.

Isn't that nice for you. I could say exactly the contrary.

I'll stick with my crappy 8.8:1 CR 422. I'm sure that with the T-Trim, it won't have a nice fat powerband.

Paul.

I don't recall saying that anything like that was crappy.

Jeesh! You guys oughta go in for counseling!

Do they have a very nervous disposition, a receeding gum line, and go for days with out sleeping? If so, you should get them into de-tox, and counciling.

LMAO.

They are very twitching, prone to loud and violent outbursts, and are completely hairless all over their bodies.
