Compression questions???

Kinda new to the all motor thing...would 11.7.1 be very difficult to run street wise(daily)? Any special tuning tips involved here?

11.7 should be too hard to run daily. You would definately have to run at least 91 octane gas, but 93~94 may be needed though.

If your car was properly tuned, you could probably get away with 91 octane.

11.7:1 is about as high as you can safely run on 91 with stock timing assuming you have no other tuning.

Re: Compression questions??? (hybridrex)

depends on the cam and tuning. if you have a wide lobe separation it would be tough to run on the street but a narrow lobe separation with a fair amount of overlap should be alright for the street.
