Ratios?
I was wondering, when people talk about ratios like 18:1 or 13:1 or anything like that then what are they talking about. I am guessing fuel to air ratio right? And does it mean the same thing when they talk about getting pistons that have a certain ratio? If someone can please explain this in some good detail then it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

That's your compression ratio. Techinspector1 wrote this excellent compression ratio explained thread, here it is, I would never be able to explain it as good as Tech has so that's why I'm directing you to that post through this link. http://www.clubhotrod.com/forums/sho...ression+ratiosYou don't know what you've got til it's gone

Sorry for your loss of friend Mike McGee, Shine. Great trans men are few and far between, it seems. Sadly, Mike Frade was only 66 and had been talking about retirement for ten years that I know...
