all motor=higher compression??
i have a few questions to clear things up...
1-is high compression good for an all motor car?
2-is high compression a very bad thing?
3-if i have high compression there is still a good amount of things i can do to make my car faster?
people are starting to say my motor will blow up or i'll break something or theres nothing i can do on a motor with high compression

What kind of people are you hanging out with? If you are going N/A with no plans of injecting large amounts of nitrous or forced induction then you want high compression pistons. You can't build a high power N/A monster without it.

1 - yes
2 - no
3 - yes
get a free flowing exhaust, increase the flow of the valve train and get some more agressive cams.
what motor are you talking about/how much power are you trying to make?

if its for anytype of racing faster is always better, unless you want to be competitive in auto-x, where some moddifications are limited.

I don't know anything about hondas, so you will have to research specific parts/manufacturers to find out what works well together.

Re: all motor=higher compression??
OK bare with this kid... He is a cool guy and learning. I just sold him my CRX With a fresh B18b1 motor with Usdm Type R pistons mild port and polish and the head shaved 30 thousanths... I/H/E Still OBD 0 ... With a compression ratio of 11.1 And like i have told you before you can leave it the way it is and it will run forever.. But i know you want to make more power.. A good engine management and a good tune..Nitrous and high compression are good friends.. Just make sure you get it dyno tuned
