i wouldnt think twice about putting 1200hp down....

with those pistons (which are pretty much like mine except i had to flycut still) you are going to have a LOW compression.... around 8:1 with 72cc heads...

because of my flycutting and 72cc heads im at about 7.9:1 CR

93 + meth 850rwhp...L19s aint gonna keep the heads from warping between the studs but still should help a little. Just my opinion...hopefully some of the more experienced peeps will chime in

I agree with this statement, L19's won't cut the movement out completely, but it will help.
