14.5 or 15:1 CR?

[SSpeeDEMONSS]

i was wondering if there are any companies out there(wiseco, etc.) that sell pistons with as high as like 14.5 or 15:1 compression ratio.

Why? ?

Why? ?

He's going to run diesel! ?

So he'll have to wait for the glow plug to warm up every time it stalls or he crashes out. ????

you might try rick peterson of rpms in a conversation with him not long ago he stated they were testing ratio's up to 17:1 in his 315 stroker motors. ya i asked if they ran on deisel also but apparantly with correct cam timing it works?

I hope you plan on running alcohol, even then the motor wont rev out very well but it will be a great hill climb motor.

i was just curious because if a 13.5:1 piston makes a little more power than i dont see why an even higher one would make even more power with a proper tune, timing, and the right fuel(and maybe a custom grind cam). i didnt think that was too extreme. ? sorry for asking a stupid question.

How much MORE power does the mortal man NEED to be happy. I already have longer arms now because of the stock power from my 426, .... SHEESH you are an animal. ??

Stop asking stupid questions on TT.

Thats my job!

The stupidest question of all is the one that isn't asked.
