Keep the 114 LCA (or at least 112). This will reduce overlap and keep dynamic cylinder pressure high at lower RPMs. The big lift you are looking at will allow you to make high RPM power as well.

Check it on your program. If you go to 110 LCA, low RPM power will suffer at the benefit of extending the curcve in the higher RPM regions.

Also good advice above about duration at .050. I wouldn't go more than 235 in that little motor. maybe even 230.


Oh, just noticed you didn't give CR. You need at least 10.5:1. Better above 11:1.

Just one last thing: Throw the pistons away and get forged pistons. Hyper-eutectic are hit and miss; a real crap shoot in a performance motor.

Have a nice day.
