317 heads question
So I'm interested in doing FI build and was wondering if there are any negatives in running 317s for maybe 6 months or a year with a small cam on my car besides loss of power? Basically would it hurt my car to lower the compression that much for that long?

It really wouldnt hurt you at all to do that. Like you said, you would just be down in power.

If he were to lose 20HP he'd have to be making 500hp.
So taking a 310hp stock ls1 and dropping it to 9:1(ish) would lose approx. 12.4hp. And thats at the flywheel.
