People don't give those pro mod i-beams enough credit. Lunati makes good ****, and those things are SUPER strong, including the rod bolts. Those are the same ones I'm using in my new motor going in my 67. Relatively light weight, and a good design.

It's going to be HORRIBLE! Won't even be able to get out of it's own way. Old ladies with walkers will pass you!

Seriously, 8.0 is fine. You'll just be able to run more boost on less octane. I wish my motor was 8.0:1 vs the 8.7:1 I have now. 1.0 pts of compression is worth about 3% of power. So compared to a 10.0:1 you will be down about 6% give or take a little. Try living in Vegas, during the summer I lose at least 10% HP compared to winter, 6000+ DA vs 2800 DA in winter.
