What is the compression psi of a compression ratio of 16.2?

There is no direct connection between compression ratio and pressure. Ratio is a mathematical calculation of the cylinder volume from bottom center to top center. Actual cylinder pressure will depend on the volumetric efficiency of the engine. Factors the affect volumetric efficiency include rpm, intake design, throttle plate size, amount of restriction in the exhaust, size of the valves, shape of piston and combustion chamber.


What is the function of a cool air intake?

The cool air intake is mainly to keep the engine oxygenated and allows for a higher performance and efficiency of the engine. This also keeps the engine from over heating. Its mostly performance based.

How do fuel level sensors affect engine performance?

A fuel level sensor will not affect performance. Fuel level can due to weight of fuel and accumulated heat in the returned fuel from the engine.
