You know the age old saying....
"There's no replacement for displacement."
....And if you take time and money into account...that saying is true.

Typically around 8:1 is a good CR to start with for a Forced Induction engine. Or so I've read before.

Chris is wainting on the manufacturer, but if someone else could get it off the ground quicker I'm sure he wouldn't mind.
