Well I have decided to stay N/A. I am getting a set of heads from TEA. Stage 1.5, 2.02 intakes, 1.55 exhaust and 68cc chambers. This will make around 10.8:1 compression. I talked to Brent and he was a huge help, saying that the stock exhaust valve flows better than the rest and will help make torque to get this heavy *** truck rolling.He said my cam will even work great with these heads, so I am stoked. I am thinking a little more cam though. I am going to add a TB converter while I am at it. What do you guys think?

 

Hello,

Could you list the math on 10:8.1 compression?

Thanks bud.

Kyle

 

I wish, Big Tex did it for me. I gave him some cc numbers he worked it all out for me. He said too much info, just easy for him to do it for me.

 

alright cool.

i wasn't even paying attention to what motor you had and how 68cc's will increase your compression w/ your larger SS chambers.

 

Yeah, Mine are 71ccs and the compression is around 10.2:1. Big Tex worked the formula showing me about four different cc combonations and 68cc puts me around 10.8:1. I don't want to go ant higher on pump gas.

 

Why are you going with a TB converter when there are proven highperformance converters out there?I see everything you've done to the truck so far has been first class.Why pinch pennies on a converter with the choice that's available now?

 

What is the lift of your cam?

 

whitt1 I went with the TB converter because it is a daily driver and there are two trucks in the 12s with it already on SSS.com, so I think it has proven itself. I don't want to sacrifice the daily driver part with a loose converter. I do see were you are coming from though.

gonzo, The cam is 216/220 and I use 1.8 rockers with it. The lift is 555/563 with my combo. I may make a change though, Brent thinks my cam will work great with the heads.

 

10.1 compression is enough to deal with tuning running premium pump gas.

 

Whats is your compression? Who does your tuning?
