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.

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
