Since I've been going over this on the JBO I figured I'd post it here too. Quad4 heads on a 2.4 will not give you ungoddly compression ratio. And frankly I'm sick of people saying "oh it will give you 17:1 compresion or some rediculous # like that.. STOP READING THE HOT ROD ARTICLE!! Its 80% fact 20% fiction. here are the facts.
