stupid friend

[fordkid68]

hello every one.

one of my friends just went out and bought A 66 200 ci inline 6cyl like mine but he bought it to go fast now I know you can make 6 cyl go fast but I don't see the point in buying one to make it fast. any ways thats off the subject. he says that just by getting it rebuilt and bumping the compression ratio from 9.2:1 up to 10.5:1 he could get another 40 hp out of it is this true. I think it is alitle to much hp to get out of just A rebuild and compresion change but then again I don't know much about compresion. and if it is true then I will probly do it too if I would be able to run on street gas like 92 or 93 octane witch ever it is.

and sorry for so many questions in one post but how do you change the compresion(sorry if that is A stupid question) like I said I don't know much about compression


thanks for all the help
