Message	or we will read about Sean wrapping the car around a lightpole. Then again there is always water injection which should be used all the time. Many little things taht can be done to allow more compression. Higher compression is great for driveability, better gas mileage, better VE, quicker spooling turbos, all factors being equal more power. Most people have heard about running lower compression and do not research any further.
