Compression Ratios

[Lovethief03]

Okkiez, i'm sorry if i ask too many questions... i'm kinda new in the import scene... Compression ratios... I hear them all the time, but dont quite understand it... for example--- 13:1:1 and stuff like that... please give me some 411 or a good web to explain

the compression ratio is how much the piston compresses the air from when the piston is all the way down, to all the way up.

raising the compression will give you more power, but there's a limit to how high you can go on pump gas. and if you're boosted, you'll go lower in compression in order to let you run more boost safely.
