Al, this should be avoided at all costs.  Raising the compression  
results in more power and the desire to go faster.  To go faster one  
must push on the "go fast" pedal - that's the one on the right btw.   
Raised compression also makes one desirous of things like hotter cams,  
roller rockers (good ones that is, nevermind), fancier exhausts and  
such.  All of these things detract from bling of which you are the  
king of.

How about a nice landau roof?
