Hi All,

I have the opportunity to trick out my engine a bit being it's in for prop
strike teardown -(.

I have 8.51 pistons currently and am thinking of 9.51 or even 101's.  I
figure there must be a down side to increasing compression that high.  If
it is only that I commit to 100LL I could live with that.  But is it
possible to blow the jugs clean off? Hurt the valves? etc...
