On my 95 JDM GSR Im sending the block off for a nice dose of high CR treatment. Eagle rods, JE 12.5:1 CR pistons, balanced\blueprinted, micropolished crank. Anyone know if its really worth the 1900 im about to spend? thanks!

Edit: Im not trying to be a *** and ask "What will my car run in the 1\4?!?!?!" It's just that this is a sizeable investment and want to be 100% sure of its worth before I do it. thanks!

anyone?

 

are you planning on turbo? B/c for turbo you want low compression. But if not this would be a good set up for N/A.

 

well going from 10:1 to 12.5:1 will yeild some nice torque and power........especially in the low-mid range area. not a whole lot in the top end though.......just little

if all your doing is having the compression increase the power will be noticable but you would kick yourself in tha *** because you just spent 1900 on this bottom end for minimal gains...............

BUT a nice strong bottom end will be benificial for later on when you decide to get some crazy high RPM cams (Toda, JUN, Skunk2) then you can really rev the **** out of that engine without worrying about the bottom end blowing up..........

i guess if you spend the cash now you wont have to worry about any problems later on.......

 

Next winter im going to get my headwork done. Jun III's, full ferrea valvetrain, skunk2 mani, portflowed, TB matched to skunk2, 3 or 5 angle valve job etc etc.

 

awesome!

 

I hope that it will put me in the high 12's on street tires. We'll see
