14:1 compression? is that even possible? the most I have ever seen in a neon or 420a engine is 13.5:1 and I would DEFINATLEY suggest headstuds at that cylinder pressure, (although on second thought boost probably creates just as much pressure and headstuds arent needed for it)

i have 12.5-1 pistons decking the head .045(.045=1.125 points of compression. ) 13.625-1. i was contemplating removing the middle layer of the headgasket which gives it another half point

careful of valve clearance then, otherwise you may have an unpleasant surprise...I say keep the middle layer, 13.6:1 compression is enough(your starter will thank you)

yeah the middle layer was a possiblility. but im puttin tomuch money into this bitch to try and risk this shit. yeah and do they sell a stronger starter if the stock cant turn it over? also do you think 93 will be high enough?
