    IC piping HOT. bad?

    Ceramic is quite effective, not sure on flow benefits though and I wouldn't use it inside an IC pipe in case it flakes. I bought a bunch of the ACL Race series heat shield material and will fab up some shields to cover most of the hot pipes where possible.

    Calculate compression ratio?

    I think as production tolerences improved along with cutter technology the gaskets didn't need to deform as much to fill voids and seal so they got thinner and thinner, the quench/squish is built into the head casting.

    Apex'i AVCR- How to set boost for each gear?

    Duty cycle per gear is boost per gear but it's really important to get the gear judge settings right first. (doesn't work well with an auto due to the Converter slip)
