Who created that? This is a pet peeve of mine, the "then" should be a "than."
Your kidding right?
:dw:

You plan on using meth to protect the engine from total destruction :uh oh: Your new engine days are numbered taking that approach. Just a "hiccup" in the meth injection system, an empty reservoir or a clogged injector when you need it the most will have you writing big checks while learning a hard lesson. It's best to build an FI engine that can stand on it's own without outside help.
Nope
Better them "than" me.

Edit... looks like I was beat to it :lol1:
10.7:1 compression, 2.3L Whipple, and pump gas...going on three years.
Static compression is only part of the story. Quench, intake temps, coolant temps, coatings, valve material, cam selection, cam centerlines, etc. 195-200psi cranking compression here. We've run pump and boost on engines with higher cranking as well. And there are plenty of Coyote engines running around with 11:1 and boost.
The ignition tuning isn't difficult it just requires attention and lower numbers. Lower ignition values that make the same or more power is an advantage is its own right. Easier for the pistons to round TDC.
This debate will never end it seems. The people running less compression will never make the power or fuel economy as those running more.

Steve, they won't listen.
Oh, we'll listen. There's just one problem: Boost is cheap to add
I am running flat top pistons (told this was 10.5:1 by Manley) and a Procharger P1SC. Highest boost during tuning was 12psi (I have an overdrive crank pulley). Tuner recommended an octane booster (torco) which gets added during every fill up to avoid detonation. Torco adds +11 to the octane rating. Forged lower end. Teksid block. 505 whp @ 5700rpms on a conservative tune.
Not sure if you can run this combo on straight pump gas. I was told by the tuner that the flat top pistons were limiting me.
505 hp with a procharger is pretty mild. A Terminator motor with dished pistons will be closer to 700 running that combo. Kinda like what your tuner was telling you.
