If you put a new engine together and you haven't tuned it at all (it sounds like you haven't) then if the contest is a race of some sort I wouldn't reccomend doing it. What exactly did you replace? Just the short block? You might be able to get away with it. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>HungryHippo</b> <br /><small>Member # 537</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2003,11,4,12,39,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> is it a compression contest? you'll lose with 9.2 to 1. that is stock <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>Hater</b> <br /><small>Member # 3085</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2003,11,4,19,9,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> 9.2:1 is not the stock compression for 99+gts,,and nope,,I havent tuned the engine,,Since its basically the same engine, but with stronger internals, I'm just using the stock computer program,,<br />The contest is a racing contest,,1/8 mile..but Its in brakets so I would be in the 9s bracket. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>st5150</b> <br /><small>Member # 51</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2003,11,4,20,24,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> What was your old compression ratio? All motor or power adder? I'm going to assume all motor. If its only half a point more/less or so, I wouldn't worry about it. If you increased your compression ratio a point or so, maybe you need to back off on the timing a degree or two, or use octane booster. <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
