I have too much into the car. I am asking close to my break-even price. As for the compression goes,... with the 6X heads being flat milled .010, I am looking at 9.5 to 1 (estimated). I just started running Sunoco 89 octane in it and it runs great. Not ever a ping. It probably runs better on 93 octane but I don't race, I just cruise. Usually I have my 5 year old with me (he thinks it's his car) so I can't even get on it like I'd like to. We are estimating over 500 H.P. The car runs like a bat out of hell. I've taken this car to cruise events an hour away from me and the car really behaves well in traffic. It doesn't get hot. It won't go over 180 degrees unless it's really hot out and your stuck in traffic then it hits 190. As soon as you start moving, it comes right down. It starts and idles nice enough to be a daily driver.

Let me know if you need any details or if anyone you know is interested. I really want to get my convertible ready for the Spring ;-)
