10.0:1

Engine strengthening

This setup can be taken even further. Forged pistons to increase engine compression (11.5:1 is common for road-going cars and track cars on race fuel can be taken much higher) result in better combustion but the use of a high octane fuel will be necessary. A steel crank and rods with uprated bolts allow higher maximum RPM's and greater power outputs - Ford's super 1600 rally Puma engine revs beyond 9,000rpm and produces over 200bhp (normally aspirated!). For more information, a reputable engine tuning company will be able to offer you advice on what route to take.
