 Is there any performance advantage here or is it just to back off the compression ratio to avoid pinging? Thanks, Konrad |

Also called the Semi-Hemi, I used to do this back in the early nineties.
OK if you want to lower your CR, but I've found doing the math and shims under the barrels do a simpler and performance wise better job. |
