12.0 is good, i dont think it should really get above 12 actually people told me 11.0-11.7 is optimum for a shot like that.

Keep in mind guys that super fat tunes can hurt pistons just like super lean ones......

There are a few pro mod teams that run their big nitrous kits in the 13.5:1 zone and never hurt nothing.... I'm thinking that's on alchohol however which is more forgiving...

I plan on shooting for about 12.0 with my setup on the 150 shot and the 175 shot..... I'm going to go lower than that with the 200/225/250...... Stopping at about 11.2:1 with the 300 or higher....
