the simplest way would be to but a head gasket like compression plate to raise it.

lol are you referring to fitting an AU gasket?
they are only marginly thinner than the previous series.
shave the head mate. talk to the person doing the head work, they will be able to tell your current cylinder volume (which in tern will determine the CR) and then let you know how much you can shave off to get the required comp.

i've had 50 thou shaved off my head and it gave it a good boost in mid to top end, but could proly do 60 thou. you would not be able to run anything less than premium unleaded and tuning would need to be spot on

Froudey, a compression plate will lower compression, theyre known as a de-compression plate... as used on some FI motors... they simply push the head further away from the block, exact opposite of an AU MLS gasket and getting the head shaved a few thou.

175rwkw? do you know the specs of the cam?

i should find out, if it helps he will be taking the car for three or 4 days and its not just coz hes booked. hes really good tho with prices all up iv spent 3 grand and pretty happy.
as a genral my tuner only charges for instilation not the parts.
any ideas what else he could be doing for that sort of money?
