- Looking for some subjective opinions here. I am sure that all would agree that an increase in compression ratio will yield an increase in H.P. output. My question regards bang for the buck. Given an

- One thing you should remember is that higher compression (all other things being equal) equals a greater tendency to detonate (spark knock), thus requiring a higher grade of fuel (ie. 93 octane vs 8

- You will get about a 2% increase in HP. Increasing the compression ratio has a greater effect if you have a longer duration cam. If you're having a run on problem now, expect it to get worse. If you'
