Your right, I am holding off on the motor I have found and was going to swap for my set-up and could of lived with the static compression of 12:1 to 1 but the dyanamic compression of 9:1 to 1, was just too much for a street motor and i need a motor that has high compression but not on the ragged edge that I can run HARD with good peace of mind on 93 octane. I am dissapointed that this motors compression was too high for my peace of mind otherwise it was a done deal and we were going to swap my motor and blower kit for the 550rwhp LS2 stroker.
Checking out a few other options on a 427 build but most likely staying pat with my set-up another season and maybe next year a 482 LSX motor making 11:75 copmresion with dyananic compression of 8:6 to 1 (making 600 rwhp on motor)!
