Ive seen guys go 12 to 1 on e and all the way down to 9 to 1. Im personally doing 11.8 to 1 on the motor im putting together but it because im limited to a 2.5 bar map so 21 pounds of boost and want to get the most power possible out of my engine. So im trying to build a more powerful engine before boost.

I think it depends on what your gonna do with it. My car is street driven but its more of a race thing really. Daily do 10.5 so you have some margin of error. Race go as high as you feel your tuning ability or tuners ability can handle.
