I pretty much need the 10.2:1 I'm on the edge with stock compression

What about some meth? Might allow you to push it harder without dropping the compression?

HP Turbine · 11-06-2014, 10:31 PM

meth is always good too. but that's something you have to always refill. pistons are set and forget it

Wow Jason those are incredible! Keep us posted on this for sure!

This is exactly why I won't do meth.

You guys have the wrong idea of how meth us used. You don't have to fill it that often. It's brought in as the boost goes up. How often are you foot to the floor? 4 gallon tank would last you months.

So my dreams of a 666WHP back V6 is becoming more of a true possibility. This is beautiful. Keep up the good work my friend!

At 11.5:1 compression ratio, it's used constantly if you are over ~450whp IIRC. I'm pretty sure MagnumForce has his meth running constantly.

Well how much does meth refill cost?

crc91 · 11-07-2014, 01:34 PM

And if your looking to get forged pistons to lower your compression ratio I talked to wiseco and they said they could build them for the LFX it's be a custom job of course. Might even have to send them a piston but it's be worth it in the end.

Diamond will do pistons too, they are sweet
