Usually you would have more compression on a cold engine for starting and less on a hot one but sometimes priming and the wet mix this gives will give artificially give you more comp anyway due to the less compressible nature of the wetter fuel/air mix so I basically agree with George.

And dropping the tank below the spray bar is fine as long as your model never goes inverted!
