ohhhh i like. never seen those pistons before.... the dome is cut down quite a bit compared to the ones ive seen. im inclined to believe those are actually 10:1's! nice job.

this beast should scream. idk about with those secret cams in there but it should still be a blast!

10:1 with boost? I like.

Gonna get the water passages cleaned up? They look a little rusty.

Nice build how much boost are you planning and what whp/wtq goals are you expecting?

Supercharged and high compression should have really good torque.

I just read the build list again.

Supercharged
high compression
nitrous


wow.

Dale: no clue. I'm going to use a 3.1" pulley for break in and whatever boost level a 2.8 on the ld9 will net me is what the final tune wil be for this year. after I get the car repainted id like to throw on a harrop charger to see what it will do.
I don't really think 10:1 compression is considered all that "high". stock compression is only 9.7:1 so it's not much higher than stock.

randizzle: being that the main bottle neck on the ld9 heads is the exhaust side I was curios to see what results come from porting it
and using bigger valves. the intake ports are plenty big enough as it is.
