Are you guys running pump gas ?
I'm not trying to hijack the thread, but I would really appreciate your opinion on my thread.
I am trying to decide 4.030 - 4.060 both will be sonic tested
What intake to buy and what cam

What are the best rods to use for the least clearance issues? Who all makes a 4.125 crank? Me personally would like to build one of these for my street car but I think I would play it safe with a 4.020 bore...
Also, would 12:1 compression be ok on 93 octane? If not what is the absolute highest you can safely run?

I shift it at 8000 rpm and it pulls past that. We made a dyno pull at 8200 and it had just started to fall off at 8200 rpm.

I think I will probably just go with a 4.1 crank in an LS2 block bored .020 (416 CI) and slap some ET heads on it. Maybe get close to my goal of 550rwhp on pump gas. Or maybe the L92 block will come out soon...427...
