Stock is around 11psi, 15% is around 14psi. I've seen car on stock internals into the 25-30 psi range running turbos. 8.5:1 compression isn't high at all and the motor is built like a tank.

That's the Cooper. It doesn't have any boost and the engine and transmission won't take it. The Cooper S is 8.5:1... I don't know about the R56 though which is probably what you're looking at.

You probably did 140mph. The speedometers on the Cooper seem to have an ego problem.

Undersize pulleys drive the S/c faster
