I need to know whats the stock rate for the compression on the pistons on an 06 sti.
On the pistons im going with higher compression pistons like 9.5:1
Why so high? Any higher than 9.0:1 could be difficult and expensive.

Hey Pancho, is this going to remain a daily driver? All I was saying was, I think with boost, 9.5:1 would require an incredible amount
of fuel or race fuel to prevent detonation. If you ran e85, you'd need even more fuel. I suppose if this is a track car, then go for it.
At current prices here, I actually spend more per mile for ethanol than I do for pump gas. About .05 more per mile but its really negligible vs. the benefits gained.
I remember when it was nearly 2.00 per gallon cheaper, no more huge subsidies... those days are gone, sigh.
but when you buy pump gas, you still have to add the cost of meth....and race gas is just stupid, lol.
Methanol is pretty cheap. For me e85 is more expensive than 93 octane. I fill my 5 gallon methanol tank once a year or maybe even longer in between. Once I went 17 months between meth tank fill ups. I can get a 5 gallon can for about $50. It seems much more cost effective.

the average price spread is 9%. Considering e85 requires 30% more demand. thats adds up to a few hundred $$$ on average in a year...
