Re: highest compression on a cis e

Jonas, as we've all discussed with you, you're not going to get that motor
to run safely on regular-type pump gas. However, you might not as far off as
the 12:1 CR would imply. You're running cams with lots of overlap, right?
Well, you can expect a fair amount of that charge to escape out your exhaust
ports. This is not to say that it will be enough to make your beast
streetable. However, it *is* a factor to consider.

Anyway, you should look into water injection. It is possible to home-brew a
kit on your own for about $150. I'm still looking for the URL to that DIY
site. In the mean time, check out the following links:
