It's definitely true...I've seen it with my own eyes. I believe the compression is at 8.5:1. So if I run an intercooler on my 330, does that mean I can run more than 9psi?

Yeah. Right. Audi I5 with 7.5:1 runs 22 psi. Get real! Stepan 21:12 7/08/2001 (0)
330 runs 10.2:1 compression. What do you want to know? Stepan 21:10 7/08/2001 (2)
