There are so many different approaches to tuning and engine building.. everything is a compromise.
Honestly this is good to know, and falls right in line with what @Manji was saying. I thought I was screwed after we made the power we did at 20psi with this compression. I'm almost certain my tuners went super conservative on the tune. We're also running meth so honestly this car is probably extremely bulletproof as it sits right now.
