So i hear that my compression after my swap will be around 10.1 I don't plan on getting a blower, and i know i'll have to start using premium gas,but what else should i look out for. I'm no mecahnic but is 10.1 a bad thing or good? I aslo know i will have to get the car tuned after the swap to peek it's performance.

10:1 is good if your staying NA! pi swap may actually be alittle higher.

yeah it's good but you need 93 octane and listen for pinging. our cars have no knock sensors.

no knock sensor? IS there a fuel additive i can use if someone (wife)accidently puts regular gas in my GT? She drives my gt every now and then and i hope she never forgets but.... I know my wife!
