The 26 will be the reason engine died pulling around 5000 ??

Car has only 10 thousand miles....

Sure. 26 total will kill the power big time. You need at least 32 to 33 and even that will take power out of the engine.

You would ONLY use 32-3 if you had big compression ratio like 11:1 and it would only be to keep the gas from detonating without a spark from the plugs. It isn't what you would want to do at all.

36 total is what you are aiming for.

You will see the difference.
