Just occurred to me that I don't really know what CR everyone's running.

I'm using the standard CR for an early M20 and only planning to run 6psi (no doubt I'll want more later!)

If anybody fancies it, could they post their compression ratio and the boost they're running / planning to run? Might perhaps come in handy for getting a feel for what's possible etc.

Cheers!

Mine is 8.5:1, a phase 2 lump, std internals.

Boost, starting at 6psi, aiming for 10 asap!! :D
