i recently purchased a Baldwin high comp piston i ordered a 14.1 and received a 12.5.1 i can send it back and get the 14.1, but is it worth the wait i'm setting it up for mx, but i'll also be doing some local riding on it what do you guy's think, how much difference in power will i notice, it a 05 model

I am running a Venom 14.25.1 and love it. If you can afford the race gas go as high as you can.

i had a baldwin 14:1 for 2 years now and loved it but i had a 12.5:1 in my practice bike this year and there wasnt too much of a difference so im going to use 12.5:1 in both only cause of the cost of race fuel

i use 12.5:1 because i cant afford race gas. Higher comp is only 3 MAYBE 3 hp more
