The fact that you're running a .043 ring pack and have an iron block should more then make up those differences.

Sweet! Thanks Kelvin! Since you brought up pistons that reminded me I'll have less compression too.
But thanks for the vote of confidence!
I forgot it had a .043 ring pack....... So I'll freshen the thing at the end of the season and still have a. $15k price tag on it.........unless someone offers me $12k for it not freshened.
