Default 1968 Ford Turbocharged Indy 255 Cubic Inch V8 Static Compresion Ratio
Been looking high and low for this info.


Found an article on 'Practical Turbocharging'.


Different engine but it said the static compression ratio was around 6.5 to 1.


Then they poured on the turbocharging and practical compression ratio was


much higher. Running on the edge of some serious detonation.


Anybody spend some time around Indy racing or somehow know this info?


Thanks.
