Some truth there.

Obviously if you have an engine with 9 to 1 compression ratio it is less efficient vs a 13 to 1 compression ratio engine.

With the 13 to 1 compression ratio engine it would seem that you are limited on how much additional NOS you can add to the engine without having issues.

With 9 to 1 compression ratio engine the ability to add more NOS is there before you reach the same issue point. (Same deal applies with boost as you know).

Having a better flowing cylinder head does not hurt you if the additional flow makes more HP and you need less NOS to reach the same final target number.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
