Re: to raise compression or not to raise compression?

Please expand upon your statement with reasoning. The car is full stand alone via megasquirt and running on e85. I wouldn't think I would lose lose overall power because of the high detonation resistance of e85, I think I would be able to keep my boost pressure up where they are at right now. With the higher cylinder pressure from raising the compression I would be able to make more power assuming there are no issues with knock or detonation at the boost level. I've done reading and volvo's test e85 optimized turbo car runs an 11:1 comp ratio.
