Higher compression vs timing
Higher compression vs timing I've heard from a tuner that for a LS1 street car that by raising compression above 10.5:1 so much timing has to be removed that you lose hp. He is saying that being able to keep more timing will make more power than the higher compression setup would make with less timing.

A Tight Engine with Higher Compression always makes more power, unless it is a nitrous car.
The Fuel quality just has to be thier. So 91-93+ is always wanted.

Good tight quench helps stave-off knock... I am running a .037 quench, a static of 11.08:1. My timing at WOT goes from 30 to 27 degrees advance, from low rpm to high rpm... Factory was 22 degrees if I remember right...
