Default 10.9 compression

How is it possible to run a Maggie on a high compression motor? Especially with 91 octane.

People are doing it all the time, with good tune and meth for added safety margin you can have stock bottom end live for a long time if you do not get greedy.

I dont think the maggie is going to really "push" the stock motor to a point of failure.


maggie does have a POOR magnavolt system for a fuel upgrade - one that has been known to quite often.
