lower compression pistons=loss of HP

[98cobradan]

OK guys with the lower compression pistons i have in the cobra. i went from 9.85:1 (stock) to 9.3 compression with my dished pistons, should i see any loss of HP on the dyno with the lower compression ratio?????

All else equal, then Yes.

Absolutely. As stampede said though, did you change anything else? more timing, more boost, heads, cams, bolt ons?

 

[red9450]

well, these guys covered it. all else being equal, you will lose power.

 

[Cookieman00x]

nope havent changed anything else. Just a different forged bottom end, stock everything else. I need to get it tuned tho. Im gettin some baseline pulls on wed.
