[DeTomaso] Compression ratio question

[Asa Jay Laughton]

Well, I've searched all through the archives going back to 2001 when I 
first got the engine in the Mach I finished, all through my own personal 
emails, which unfortunately don't go back that far anymore, and I still 
can't find the numbers I got when I actually -did- do a compression test.

Since I can't remember, my guess is either 125 or 175.  I'm wanting my 
memory to be 175-185 on all cylinders (because I -do- remember it 
blowing me away how high it was), but that was five or six years ago.  I 
really need to document this stuff better.
