how much compression can you run with the intercooler? I'm at 9.5 to 1

As your compression goes up the amount of boost your engine can run before you get into detonation goes down along with total HP. You will have more HP when you lower compression with more boost.

I would be afraid to run a motor with that much compression with a blower. I think 8.75 is too high of a compression ratio. I feel if you install a blower of any kind it needs to be intercooled to make the motor live longer.

I got your email and responded yesterday. I just pushed the reply button instead of clicking on your email link, so who knows where it went. I will resend.
