Default Which motors compression would work better for n2o

9:1 or 11.3:1 compression? Would i be safe with say a 200shot with 11.3?

With the fact that n2o works well with compression 11:3 is actually a good street/strip compression for nitrous motors.

Im wanting to spray at least 200 on it... I know stock 10:5 worked well on my stock motor. I dont want to have so much where i risk detonation would i be safe on 93 octane pump gas?

11.3, hell my shortblock was built for 200+ shots and it will be over that for a little while Think I will be installing it sometime end of June begining of July...cant wait. With tuning you surely could run pump gas.

Personally I'd try and stay somewhere around 11.5 to 12:1 compression ratio for the bottle but mines alittle higher than that.
