When ya are in a CONTEST to extract the last bit of HP&Torque I can see 91 being a problem.
What they should do is let um build them like they want and put a KR on every engine. Then when it rattles it pulls timing and by by HP.

let's just say, i've probably got more experience than 95% of the people here. when most kids were running around terrorizing the neighborhood, i was in the garage. been wrenching 16 of my 25 years, so i think i've got a pretty decent idea whats going on.

I am running 8.7 on the dot. My pistons rattle tons, but actuall knock? nope haven't seen any.
Listen to mindgame, upwards of 9.0 shouldn't be too big of a problem. Good tune and good gas.
