Need help with head

[ctchme]

Hey guys, just after some advice on head work, have got myself an e16 head, am planning to do the 1680cc conversion, and am wondering what is the best compression ratio and camshaft grind. Not looking for a "this is good" setup, but a "this is the best available" setup. Reason for asking, have been receiving conflicted info about everything, have seen wrx's running rediculously high comp ratio's of close to 15:1 and scorpions running low ratio's of 4.8:1, any info would be great

Short answer, there is no 'best' setup.

You need to decide what fuel you will be running before you go anywhere near deciding on what comp ratio you will be running. Pump, alcohol, race?

WRX with 15:1 comp ratio? Bullshit!

Also, you need the E16 crank to achieve the 1.6ltr+ capacity, not the head. The E15T head is better anyway.

In a nutshell, how fast do you want to go?
