If you build your motor and lower your compression without going FI wouldn't that take some of the power out of your motor?? then you would be kicking yourself everytime you drive it until you get the turbo kit.

glad to see you are being responsible. Paying off the car is the smart thing to do.

Smart = Yes, but try telling someone "well, at least mine's paid for" after getting walked on the highway.

Surprisingly, the power loss is very modest...about 2-4%. We've done a couple of pre-turbo buildups, and they made near OEM power, even with lower compression.

the most important factor is your tune. get a good tune and you wont have to worry about throwing a rod through your block.

Or how about the story when the guy with the turboed Z blows his engine and then struggles replacing an engine and paying car payments?
