10.5 is actually closer to 10:1, and 8.6 is closer to 8:1. I'm thinking the 068 is going to be much happier in the YC? I suspect your decision will boil down to the very thing which separated these two right from the beginning - do you want to run regular fuel or premium?

I run 98 in Germany … i know the performance of my other 65 Bonneville with YE and 4bbl I’m using the Melling 068 and I’m absolute happy with this performance
If the YA can do similar performance with the low compr. I don’t know .. but it appears to share same short block ..
