nah just curious cos most peop[le who build a motor with forgies are lookin to throw some extra pressure in the cylinders... ive built my motor with forgies and to 9.8:1 comp cos im gonna put a blower on it. all i gotta do when i put the blower on is swap the head gaskets to a 1.6mm thick one to drop the comp a bit more...

most guys who build a N/A motor have the comp around 10.2-10.5:1 cos thats where they start making the big numbers

dont get me wrong 9.75:1 is raised, and still makes heaps of torque but doesnt make as good power as the higher comp motors

should drop it to around 9:1 ish, which is nice for about 12 psi safely... which would be insanely stupid power for a live axle ute:p
