Awesome news man. I had to have my speed pro pistons flycut to make sure the valves stayed away from the pistons. What's the deck clearance? Do you know what compression you're looking at? My pistons are .005 in the hole with a .026 gasket for a .031 quench. That's what Lloyd told me was optimum. My heads have 50cc chambers. Not many people running 12.4 compression with a stock stroke that I've seen. Anyways man it looks nice. What kind of rods? Stock crank? My rods are eagle 5140's with a gm crank. My builder told me he wouldn't think twice about throwing more than 600 hp at the shortblock. Looks like what you have is similar man. Should make it into the 10's easily with some gas and some traction.

I am the same way. It makes things move a lot slower than they should.

All the pistons were measured in the hole .010-.015 with and average of .012 finished, the deck was just cleaned up so maybe .010 tops, My heads were milled .030 and Im using Mr Gs 5716s
oh and the 10.1 pistons are based off 64.0 cc heads

Awesome. Should put you in the high 11's for compression. Good luck man should be a nice upgrade and knowing your motor can handle the hp will be nice.
