well I have no exact numbers, but I assume your motor will still suck. IMO The y7 is just horrible. If you want more power, think about going turbo, or maybe doing a mini-me.

yeah definately up the boost a few pounds, you can raise the compression but you need to have a good tune if you are runnin high compression and boost...the chances of detonation are much higher
