Yea they are 7.600 patriot said most people use the 7.650. The compression worries me a little it comes out to 10.72:1 but I'm going to try it see if it works out good. I have ran 10.2:1 on pump gas on 14lbs on a car and never had any problems. The cam is not the perfect one for the engine but I have it so I am going to use it.

Curious why you used a stock LS1 crank instead of a forged piece...

Kind of sounds like it was just parts laying around...

I'm not looking to make enough power to spend the extra money on a new crankshaft.
