That I want to get one that is 8.5:1 compression. The problem is, I want to wait a bit before buying a turbo kit. So, with a set of 2v heads and stock cams, do you think it would be much trouble to tune it with 8.5:1 compression instead of 9:1 like stock. It would probably just run like a worn out stock 4.6 don't you think? __________________ Aztec Gold 97GT.

And its killing me. its an automatic with 190hp and 4000lbs. Its a nice car, but by no means a sports car. __________________ Aztec Gold 97GT.
