93 pump gas truck and will be driven a lot on the street.
You might be able to get away with more compression. I don't know the engine build specs, they must be in the other thread? Anyway, my 468ci. small block in my car is 13.3:1 compression with a cast iron head, and I run it on pump gas, and a meth kit. The meth kit is kind of for insurance. I have made passes on straight pump gas. BUT its a big cam, somewhat short rod, and a big crank. Each build if different from the next, but that is my experience with my car. Most of our customer cars on pump gas are going out the door at 12-13:1 compression these days.

Odds are this setup will only last a season or so. Have something more aggressive up my sleeve to play with the big boys...

With the cylinder pressure not being that bad with the huge cam I know the compression could have been 12.5:1 and safe. But didn't wanna change the pistons or deck the **** out of the heads for a good reason down the road...

Here are some more pics:

So are you hoping for 600-625hp at the tire when its race ready? Not sure what you are trying to run at the track with the N/A set up in there.

Thanks man! Its been a test of patience with the time frame but it will get there and be done right!

They are custom made stainless 2" primaries with 4" collectors. Didn't see any off the shelf headers I liked even the Kooks F-Body ones so I had them made.

You need a set! Actually larger primaries but that would help a lot.
