Default Re: high compression with boost???

Not a good comparison, there is much more to detonation than just compression.
The combustion chamber design has a lot to do with it as far as quench zones, etc., and the same with piston type. You can run the exact same compression with the 2 different engines and the same amount of boost and one may detonate at a completely different point than the other. There isn't an apples to apples comparison here..
