I picked 9:1 because I want to reach 700whp on pump gas (93). E85 isn't exactly readily available here. I really wanted to get 10:1 pistons but was afraid I wouldn't be able to hit my goals with that compression.
Its going to be pretty hard to hit 700whp with that 9:1 compression on pump gas. I think 10:1 compression is the perfect compression for our cars. I have a built shortblock using 9:1 compression on e70 and making 704 whp and 644lbs of torque. Lower compression will let you boost the hell out of your car though. Fuel system is going to be the biggest challenge. Go big on everything bc you will max things out pretty fast.
