Compression ratio VS consistency?

Properly tuned, I'm not sure the compression ratio makes any difference in consistancy. For most of us, it comes down to running as quick as possible inversely compared to the cost per run basis of the fuel provided. Exactly how much fuel do you plan to burn per season, do you want to run quicker, and what's the cost difference between pump gas and race gas. You might find a few hundred bucks extra on fuel results in several tenths quicker ET.

If you want to look at consistancy, look at the fuel. You never know what's going into your gas can at the local station, but you can count on the same fuel from drum to drum from quality race gas vendors.
