If you aren't building it at all, I would go for a LQ4. My 2 cents.

Im taking it you dont understand the effects of compression and boost.
get the lq4 for FI and pour more boost on it and youll out last and out run a lq9 with less boost. 9.5 is high compression for a FI application. 8 to 8.5 is better depending on bottom end strength
I don't completely agree with that statement. But I am not following the herd either.Quote:

To me, there are many, many more factors than just "running low compression with tons of boost".
LQ4s come with 9.5:1 compressionQuote:

it would be fine
