Thanks Team. I "borrowed" a lot of your ideas. I'd love to build it for DSP, but I'm instead going to look for a CMod car.

Compression test passed on 7/16.

Results were:
Rear: 6.6, 6.3, 6.3 kgf/cm2 @ 190 rpm
Front: 6.3, 6.1, 6.0 kgf/cm2 @ 190 rpm

I've transposed the results onto the Mazda graph showing standard (new engine) and minimum expected compression. The smaller 2004 spec starter plus small LiPO4 battery in the trunk = 190 rpm cranking speed, so I also normalized the results to the standard 250 rpm.
