Going back to the original debate, just because someone is selling pistons that are 10.x:1, doesn't mean that they're not for a DET setup. Can we agree on that?

And just because everyone thinks that I said high comp and high boost are fine on pump gas (which I didn't), doesn't mean we shouldn't be able to talk about technical topics. That'll only dumb the place down.

Where'd that Vertigo guy go? This VCR thing is getting interesting!
Thing is those pistons were for 11:1, yes you might be able to run a thick enough gasket to bump it down a bit, but then you run into quench area problems, and end up back where you started.

The quench thing makes me wonder how the vcr setup is going to work with that, because from what it seems, it lowers the piston at tdc to decrease the comp...
