What do you think the safe limits are when it comes to compression ratio and boost? Obviously we are talking generic theory here but I think it could prove to be an interesting discussion.
Points I'd like to bring to the table are the modern innovations such as direct injection and better knock protection allow car makers to run much higher levels of compression with boost without risking detonation.
Higher octane fuel also plays a part here but are the general rules of thumb a little too conservative.
