9.0-1 Compression questions...
I got my motor up and running with new Arias 9-1 Pistons. I'm still waiting on my fuel management so I got the car running so I can drive around to break in the motor and the new clutch. I disonnected the charge pipe so I'm just running NA for now.
I'm wondering how my power should feel NA compared to the stock 10.6-1 compression after I break in the motor. The low end actually feels really good, I was assuming it would feel sluggish with such low compression.
Thanks for any info.

You should only feel it in VTEC, when the lower dynamic compression of the VTEC lobes really kicks things in the pants.

Cool, thanks. That was actually one of my questions. Will VTEC not want to pull much? Be kind of sluggish on the top end? Well not really sluggish but a lot less noticeable pull? After I put a few hundred miles on the pistons and clutch I hit VTEC once on accident and it was definately not nearly as as strong as NA with stock compression.
Thanks.
