yeah i could do a swap and then whin i go to any shows or get pulled over then i would have to worry about if the want to look under the hood or be a prick

your kidding right? do you think any cop or inspection station has ANY clue as to what is in your car? they dont. your boosted 7afe is just as "illegal" as any motor swap would be.

but anyway, this thread isn't about a swap or any legal questions.
Player is feeding you incorrect information. raising your compression, on a motor that is already high comp, is a bad idea. sure you can say "as long as its properly tuned", but unless you have done some form of tuning in the past, you'll quickly realize that sometimes, its almost impossible to tune out knock on a motor like that.

now sure, someone can post a link to a honda, along with dyno sheets to prove that its been done, but just because it did ok on a dyno run, doesn't mean that car is still running problem free today.

your right this is not about what is legal or not , i dont think he is incorrect i just think no one has tried it i think 11:1 is a bit to high but i think some of the newer cars that are factory turboed might be running 10:1 i cant remember what one i was reading about right now off the top of my head. what about the older muscle cars that ran a 12:1 and super charged them of course the where running leaded fuel or alcohol so they were not street legal ,and i am not saying this would work for me
