[QUOTE="03Steve, post: 13449219, member: 5016"] The seller is going to wonder why you would want to make less power at a greater expense. I've run 10.7:1 with 93 octane for three years now on a 2.3L Whipple. The flat top piston is a great choice, especially on our 4V heads. It can provide a tight quench action with a centrally-located spark plug that will lower the risk of detonation. Anyone who tells you that a lower compression engine will make more power is flat wrong. My car at 7psi will outrun Whipple cars at 15psi. Plenty of video showing it. You can get 91 octane, that ratio, and boost level to work just fine. Or you can put lower compression pistons in it, spin the blower harder, make more heat, increase possibility of belt slip, and make less power. Do what you want. [/QUOTE]
