Agro1,

Scott and Don are right on.

Regarding compression; I was running 11.8:1 in my 434 sm block until today.
My engine builder assured me that 9.5:1 would be more than I needed with that many cubes and with the cam he was using it would still have that nice "pop" that high compression has at idle. He was right. We dynoed this morning on pump premium and using AFR 210's it made 600 ft/lbs @ 4500 and 620 HP @ 6500.

I'm one happy camper!
