h:The compression ratio of the B18C5 isn't much different than the C1...people are just stupid and run FMU's.

Understanding effective compression and knowing how to tune fuel and spark using a high static compression ratio = insane horsepower

Not true...it's all in the tuning. A competent tuner and a good EMS/fuel setup goes a long way.
