In other words.... don't rely on the CR number of the pistons in the box. That number is complete BS (for this discussion anyway) and is only a number to use for comparison against another piston while they're still in the box. That number will tell you a little bit but won't answer the critical question of what fuel you can use. And it sure as hell isn't the magic bullet to tell you if a motor is going to make any power compared to a "lower" compression (SCR) motor. As you know - it's all about the right COMBO.

I don't want to sound like a know it all here... but I'm trying to answer an often asked question in a way that will allow "others" to read it and maybe start to ask the RIGHT questions should they be in the same spot some day.
