You'll be fine going with a ratio such as 10:1,etc and before the critics say otherwise I've personally seen ratios as high as 10.5:1 boosted (reliably) to great success.
If you are still a bit skeptical 9.5:1 would be ideal but in todays day and age ur original choice won't be sufficient in terms of hanging with the comp.
Wishing you the best of luck with ur build, research,research,research and you'll be ok. :thumb:


I dig higher cr turbo builds.

Just make sure tell your tuner before you tune.

Yes 10.1 is a great ratio for what your trying to accomplish :thumb:
