NG vs 20V

[JShadzi at aol.com]

I've never tried it, but can't imagine you'll have much luck, even the 8.4:1 MC2 is really knock prone compared to the MC1, I can't imagine trying to tune a 10:1 motor.  Swapping in the proper MC motor is not that much work, my intuition is that you'll be pulling a boosted 10:1 motor soon enough ;)

>Has anybody come up with a safe way to boost an NG? I'd love to have more power in my 87.5 CGT, but with the rarity of the car, I'm not interested in an engine swap. So, can it be done somehow? I'm thinking low boost, like 4-6 PSI. Or am I destined to port & polish, cam, etc.?
