I think reliability would take a major hit. And for probably not much gain. Although experimenting would be a fun project. But Flossy will stay stock and reliable. But in the future if I build another jeep I might consider something crazy (and probably stupid) Being that all my family members who are into cars and all my buddy's are all into mustangs, V8s and other fast stuff. I'm the only one who just sits back and has a low horsepower cruiser. So it's really easy for me to get crazy ideas about keeping up with the horsepower!

As always I really appreciate you guys giving me information. The main thing I can see about having higher compression would be for today's higher octane fuel. I believe back in the day they only had 70 or so octane? So the little compression gain might be worth it today.
