cc = cumbustion chamber. raising compression a little is a good thing. unless you're planning on runnin a turbo or supercharger.

I don't know about you...but I like my turbo engines to be around 9.8-10:1


the increase in compression will gainyou a few ponies, but the main increase will be the head itself...vtec, ports, intake mani, etc.
You'll still be fine on 87 octane too

I know the purpose of the mini-me swap. the guy didn't understand what "cc" stood for or the fact that raising compression is good for a N/A motor.

not saying you didn't...just telling the dude that raising his compression won't be a HUGE deal...just a little more power...but raising CR isn't the only good thing from a mini-me...

I know you know
