old corollas: its interesting to see that youre still only getting a cranking pressure of 130psi... 
i get this funny feeling in my bones that the 7m will be cranking 180+psi and that cant be a good thing. 
ive just been doing some serious reading on methanol injection, fuel preignition and relative compression ratio's etc, and it 'should' be possible to run almost 11.5:1 with adequate methanol added. 
i dont think ill go this far tho     
10.75/10.80:1 seems about on the money, and if i can configure (crudely) a methanol/ethanol system to work properly (manifold vacumm and rpm based) then high load, hi rpm situations should be ok.

yeah it's a bit weird. it was getting 135-140 when it was freshly built, but that was 18 months (and a lot of rpm) ago. 
a mate had a datto 200B, L20 motor, had somewhere around 11:1 CR, and had 210Psi cranking compression. no idea on cams. it ran very well with either LPG or rich with twin webers. 
fwiw, stock cranking compression in a toyota 3K is 170-180Psi for 9:1 and 190Psi for the 10:1 models. both run pretty much similar (stock) cams. i don't hink 180Psi will be that bad. 
 
hmmm, what can i think of that can use only a vacuum hose from the plenum and a wire to the tach? hmmmm     
seriously tho, for $180 and a bit of soldering time, you can have a system where you have 8 MAP points that you can put at any kPa you want around the last 10-15% of the MAP range. that should be enough resolution? (minimum resolution is about 1kPa) 
LOL, one day    (after i get mine in) 
Cya, Stewart
