thanks for the input.i was hoping to get a 10.1 comp ratio, could not find any lq9 flat tops that would fit my press pin rods, these sealed power hypereutectics that i have have a 11cc dish.my static comp. ratio with a .041 gasket gets me in the 9.6:1 range.it may be possible to trim my heads a couple more ccs. the piston is out the hole .004 so my PTH clearance is close to borderline.may have to step up in gasket thickness.
thanks again. oh by the way! what kind of idle would this cam produce!

224/230 111 LSA is 5* overlap, so noticeable lope but not outrageous.
If you like it PM me and I'll give you the specs and work out your chamber size for best static compression and dynamic.
