This seems iffy.......think about it. Higher compression = more heat. I do not know about y'all, but from what i have seen the stock cooling system is pretty darn marginal with the long hoses to the radiator and all............I wish that there was an upgraded water pump to pump more water, faster.that seems to be a serious drawback with a 10 to 1 ratio running pump gas.
