Re: [T3] Compression Ratio Recommendations

<x-flowed>couple different things here

1)  keith, did berg bother to tell you to advance the motor timing 
before i did?  and how did it run without that knowledge?

2) my notch, today in 85F weather ran very cool (180F) oil temps.  it 
has 8.7:1 CR and is on pump gas.  this is on mahle pistons and 
cylinders.  i have been told for years that you can't do that on the 
street!  even the semi-local VW shop says that thing can't run oil temps 
that cool, and my gauge has been claibrated too.  now, if i ran this 
motor at 7.0:1 CR i would get about 15% less horsepower and not any 
benefit to my cooling system.
