I bought a 1997 mustang gt and the owner didnt know a whole lot about it and he said that the owner before put some high compression pistons in it. i did a compression test on it and i got about 175psi for all the cylinders (roughly) and i cant figure out how to convert that into a compression ratio. i dont know what has been done to the car but i have a list of what stock specifications if that helps. Im just trying to figure out if i have any aftermarket parts that are upping the compression ratio so if someone can figure out what 175 psi equals to in compression ratio that would be great!
