there's a fine line there, be careful.

Boost > Compression

yes, a low CR may be a dog but in boost it will smoke a higher CR low boost setup. finding a good balance for your config is the right approach.

stock. Stock CR for the L33 is 9.9:1 which btw modified roots systems thrive but Turbo apps would want something a little lower

It's also 100 lbs lighter in full trim compared to the LM7. A wash with the 80+lbs of the Radix kit.[/IMG]
Not when compared to an LM7 with a Radix - comes out 100 lbs lighter.
