» CMF Memberwhatever is safer. ive been searching the internet and some saying it will definitely improve power, but some says it will affect the thermal efficiency of the engine

» CMF Memberjust wondering if anyone have done just the compression increased and no other mods...

» CMF Membera thinner h/g wont raise it a fat lot tho eh, the stock one is 1mm when fitted, and i ran with a 3mm headskim at one time

» CMF Membernah, you worry too much lol, the engine ran ok with the 3mm headskim (and a 260 cam), but it made the lower chain too slack (spark/cas signal jitter at idle etc) i ended up running with 2 head gaskets and the lowest mile chain i had (the blue car,s engine).
but 1.0 pistons are a neater solution tbh, and a cga crank so that you can run 2 gaskets and have a nice tight chain

"Well I will be running about 13.5-14:1
You must have a very specific cam choice in mind I assume. Compression that high can lead to more problems than benefits and could actually make less power than with something safer like 12:1.
