Default how much compression???

How much compression can I run on pump gas(94 octane)? And what are the pros and cons of uping the compression ratio. And finally how much torque/horsepower may be gained?

Most folks should be able to get away with 11.5:1 compression with 94... Some more, but it depends on how hot it gets by you in the middle of the summer.

I would also say that tuning has a lot to do with it...I've heard of a few people getting close to 12....but there's only one way to find out...
