When I initially made the order, I put 9.0 comp and then I changed my mind after a few days to go with 9.5 comp. Well they emailed me and said sure no problem and then when I got them in they were 9.0 with a note in there saying they didn't get the memo in time for the change so they are 9.0. comp.

Hence why I sold them

Actually I am considering a 10 comp for my turbo setup but I want to do some more research before doing that. I still want to retain my low end and I am not looking for a dyno queen high horsepower turbo setup, I want a well balanced machine even if that means losing a little top end with the turbo and keeping a good bottom end.

So yeah, I think it was worth it to sell them and lose a few bucks to get what I really want.

Just FYI, I am doing a few things this summer with my car so I won't be doing the swap just yet, but I am still slowly putting it together. Should start the swap after I get all the pieces in October when I have settled down a little bit (i am wanting to do a few road rally's this summer). a 2100 square foot shop is in the works right now on my parents land so I am kinda waiting on that too. (sorry for thread jacking)
