Steve, you are more than likely right.
Even though my solicitation for information would lead one to believe, I am trying to build a competetive engine. The truth is I will not use this engine in my car for that purpose and don't need to go all the way to the edge. Reliability is a major issue. Hate to spend that kind of money to have an engine good for a few passes.
There will be a practical limit to the compression.

I have no intent to use the Lemans rods, that came with the b;pck. I will sell them to someone and use the money, more than likely towards Eagle Rods.

Thanks for your input and it is always welcome. It will be a while before this thing finds it's way on the Dyno. So it is not too late for any last minute advice.
Will be taking it to the machine shop this Friday.
