   reading throught the haynes manual i discovered that the furio and vts both have a higher compression ratio than other models
   
   
   my question is, can this higher compression be used to enhance preformance or is the diference too minimul too notice. another question is, what is different in the furio that it has a higher compression ratio than the 1.1 and vtr
   
   
   sorry im not being clear in my question bcos im not sure on the topic

   I'd read up on compression ratios first.
   
   Compression is how much the air gets squeezed in each cylinder - usually the more squeezed the more power.
   
   Power is usually related to capacity and compression.
