Higher Compression
Thanks Dr. Boost and V6gofast for your reply however they were 180* apart so I am right back where I started.
Anyone else have any thoughts for this question?
I tend to agree with V6gofast. It would seem to me that the Buick engineers set the compression ratio at 8 to1 because of the octane rating of pump gas available. Due to the much higher octane rating of E85 we could probably get away with running a higher compression ratio in a none boost condition. Also a higher static compression ratio would equate to more power and performance in none boost conditions such as cruising and equal better gas mileage.
I would sure like to hear some more opinions before I make up my mind on which way to go on this.
