cliff,

how do you think that 60916 will perform with a lower compression ratio ? like 9.0:1 or even 8.0:1 ???

i am dropping the 60916 in an otherwise stock 400 (small intake valve, large exhaust), with a 4 speed and 3.90 rear.

it is only a temporary combo (not concerned about max performance)...just dont want it to be a complete dog...maybe i need to bump the CR on the cheap somehow ???
