Damn that is a ton of compression. Why so high??? I personally would not go past 11.0 but thats me.

11.7:1 compression is doable on 93 octane. high compression because the heads were already milled to 61cc. nothing i can do there. nitrous will love the compression.

the trans brake is going into a 4l60e. got my hands on a LVL 7 FLT and it's going to Vince so he can work his magic.

no faith in the 60e on a trans brake? lol. i guess we will see. i think/hope the weight of the s10 will help keep it alive. if not i will have an expensive paper weight!
