Oh yeah I forgot to answer the second part. Yep. For diesel engines, Ford V8's or Hondas, 1.75 is always the ideal number. And the 1.75 ratio lets the engine climb to great rpms (B16) for NA power. And it also lets you boost your engine more without worrying as much about the stress on the rods and pistons. You could essentially boost it higher without getting beefed up rods and not destroying it.
Ah, I see. So I take it you can not change the R/S ratio, due to physical restrictions in the engines design, and stronger rods and pistons are just a way to get around it. R/S ratio is what it is then, and you cant change that, just make the parts stronger? I think I understand it, but correct me if Im wrong.
