Message	Combustion chamber shape, rough edges on valves/pistons, temperature of plugs, intake temp, etc..... You can push 6 to 8 lbs of boost on *12 to 1* compression ratio if you get all your variables right.. Generous intercooling, very cold plugs, and a baby-butt smooth combustion chamber all the way around.. Peak HP doesn't take into consideration the torque or flatness of the curves to get there... producing 500hp on a 10:1 boosted motor vs. 500hp on a 8:1 boosted motor, the 10:1 motor is going to have earlier torque, and a broader powerband..

Follow Ups	Pros/Cons of copper head gaskets? - AshsZ (Retired) 22:28:32 09/26/01 copper if most desirable. - nixit(da][as) 22:33:01 09/26/01 I see. Retorque them tho? Pulling plenum is a 12pack ordeal - AshsZ (Retired) 22:35:19 09/26/01 You are really _suppose_ to do that regardless of which hg. (n/m) - DamonH 90TT 22:40:37 09/26/01 yup...more... - nixit(da][as) 22:41:45 09/26/01 Nice. Damon suggests doing stock HG tho, I'm sure it wont - AshsZ (Retired) 22:46:11 09/26/01 the stock Head Gasket is good for 500+ RWHP. - nixit(da][as) 22:50:07 09/26/01 [foot in mouth], 500 may be the real high side...400 = safe (n/m) - nixit(da][as) 22:51:09 09/26/01 yes they are for the Twin Turbo motor.. - Carlos Ramirez 22:51:15 09/26/01 very true. Mal1ce is having his custom made too... - nixit(da][as) 22:52:21 09/26/01 Copper is also cheaper ... once your block is o-ringed. (n/m) - DamonH 90TT 22:41:22 09/26/01 here are a few cons.. from there website - Carlos Ramirez 22:55:21 09/26/01 I mean pros.. duh!! (n/m) - Carlos Ramirez 22:56:48 09/26/01 Is it good to lower the compression, how does that help? (n/m) - 95zTT 23:11:38 09/26/01 It reduces the chance of detonation by lowering the >> - AshsZ (Retired) 23:14:31 09/26/01 UH, i beg to differ... - nixit(da][as) 23:29:58 09/26/01 Why, of course you do. :) >>>> read >>>> - AshsZ (Retired) 00:00:48 09/27/01 Interesting Post. (n/m) - nixit(da][as) 00:12:36 09/27/01 and where do you get those stats? - 97 S14 00:36:43 09/27/01 The table was "rough", only used to show a relationship. - AshsZ (Retired) 01:03:27 09/27/01 There are more factors... >> - MikeeZ 09:20:32 09/27/01 Yup. I didn't mention those factors tho, >> - AshsZ (Retired) 15:43:15 09/27/01 actually by lowering your compression you don't loose that - Carlos Ramirez 06:46:16 09/27/01 Yes. Less compression=less heat of compression. (n/m) - Buzz 04:07:27 09/27/01 Drool Drool. I'm sold, F* it, I'm tearing her apart. (n/m) - AshsZ (Retired) 23:12:53 09/26/01
