Ask those idiots why bmw's 335i has a c/r of 10.2:1 WITH direct port fuel injection, yet people cant get more than 400whp out of the 3L because the pistons are uniquely shaped for the direct port fuel injection, and afaik, no aftermarket company makes aftermarket pistons for that car yet. Vishnu's world fastest 335i runs 12's Martin is an idiot. When it boils down to it, he doesnt know very much about engine dynamics. He buys expensive shit, throws it on, makes good power, and expects people to respect him. I can dig up some of our old posts if you want a good laugh

It boils down to this. Run the highest compression ratio you can for the amount of power you want to make with the octane you are running. If you want to make the most power on pump gas, you will be running a very low c/r. End of discussion.


cliff notes: Martin isnt very bright.
