Paul, no toes stepped on here. The literature I have read indicates that the 10.5:1 motor that was standard in the Starfire and Custom Sports Coupe was optional in the other 98 models. I agree that a sticker doesn't make a motor high compression, but from what I have seen, the "Ultra High Compression" decal was placed on the 10.5:1 motors. Other 98 models came standard with the 10.25:1 motor, which had the "Skyrocket" aircleaner decal, but no "Ultra High Compression" decal. I could be wrong on this, but this is my impression.
