Chris Bridge is wondering about compression ratios: An additional factor you may want to consider in selecting your compression ratio is the altitude where you live. If you are living several thousand feet above sea level (you are in AZ, right) the compression ratio you mentioned may be appropriate since you are starting with less atmospheric pressure. You will probably need to run premium gas and listen carefully for pinging on trips to sea level destinations though. Good Luck! Dave
