Is there a good way to lower the compression ratio of an engine? I know using the thicker style head gaskets.
What about pistons. Are there any pistons anyone knows about that have a larger dish volume? What about different rods?
I'm looking to build either a 200 or 250 with a CR below 8:1 so I can run 10-14 psi. The other way I can think of getting there is having custom pistons made with lower lips and bigger dishes?
Also, I remember someone saying that the CR needed to run high boost is different for Turbos then for superchargers (or centrifugal versus positive displacement). Can anyone confirm or deny this? And if confirmed, why?
