Hows the interior?

You still looking? I'm putting alloys on mine in a few weeks when I get back into town and I'm in orange county. So mine will be going up for sale or into storage

Mine has a cut on the back of the driver's seat. Looking to buy factory seat covers or whole seats if they're in socal for the right price

Really? That's great to hear! I haven't been able to find what piston to deck is so all of my number crunching has been educated guessing. I'd be very happy with getting that much from milling the heads. You clearly done your homework on this, know if you lop off .03 from the heads how much lift you...

I just penciled out what the theoretical gains may be and agree there is definitely cheaper power to be made than 1000 bucks for 30-40 horse Kevink what kind of numbers have you gotten doing what kind of machine work? Are you going past service limit? I don't know what factory gasket thickness or cy...

Not 100 set on anything just weighing my options as of right now. 12ish:1 can work well with 91 octane and would really shine on e85.

Depending on cam/converter/gear maybe even higher but I don't want a race engine just a healthy sleeper that can be daily's that still has torque down low

Milling the factory heads to service spec gets you 10.8. There's a lot left for premium fuel, especially if your running a cam with lots of overlap. If I'm spending aaaaaall the money for bolt ons and a tune I don't think the extra 800-1000 bucks (pistons and gaskets) would be to bad to put some new...

I've searched a bunch but have failed to find any info besides milling the heads to bump compression up. Anyone on here have a high compression (pump gas) build? I'd like to find a domed piston in factory bore size if possible.

Tried pming you but not sure if it actually sent. The message isn't in the sent folder. I'd like them if shipping is reasonable

Bump. I'm interested in this as well.
