Re: [Chrysler300] Compression pressure , 300H



Rick really knows his stuff as he a second generation Chrysler guy and a 
professional mechanic. Suprised that he didn't mention the altitude effect 
on compression readings here in Denver. Makes about a 15% difference and 
definitely affects jetting. Some of you may have gotten a taste of that at 
the Golden meet.
