I broke a compression guage ... but that was because we did it after i ran the car thru the autox several times ... don't do a compression test when your engine is hot. you break things and of course you don't get the correct reading

My static compression is at 270 on my sohc. We used the compression calculator to find my ratio.

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.
