    Whats the benefit?

    Of having higher compression pistons?? Im not 100% sure on this, but alot of people are taklin about miata 10:1 c/r pistons. Im gonna build up a n/a engine and want to know the best route to take. I was hoping for somewhere around 130-140whp. Thanks

    Higher compression is just that, in it's design, it will compress the air/fuel more with the same amount of spark, thus creating a faster moving piston. Less compression, slower moving piston, less power to the crank shaft and in turn to the wheels.

      ok well say I got the 10:1 miata pistons, i'd probably be lookin at a gain of like 6-9 hp to the crank?? Right?

        no idea. although i'm pretty sure it'll take more than just pistons, something else may be needed or atleast some tuning...not really my department, i stick to electronics and suspension

            Don't forget to factor in the needed increase in octane with the increase in compression.

              increased efficiency across the board.

              You use less fuel, and you make more power doing it.
