Yea Ed, and the evilness of spoons did not cause Rosie O to become large !! Next you will be saying guns kill people........
Ed, Just kidding. Sorry I am in one of my moodes. Think you will agree that higher compression is rarely built into the engines in our Toys without the other common items like big cams and high CFM intake systems and tons of timing. I do not consider 11/1 as high C/R but is getting there. Heck I am running an engine built for alky now converted to gas and love life.
The down side to high C/R is gas price, limited run distance due to amount of gas I can haul and quirks of the normal set up with high C/R. I would not do it differently but am building second car with near stock engine so we can have best of each world. May go off the deep end and install stereo, AC and hard top.
Take care all. jeff c
