Why not take advantage of everything you're trying to accomplish and get the heads and intake ported and polished

Stay on topic. I am trying to show you guys that stock bore high compression is the best way vrs cost to make power. Longer rods and high compression pistons

Well what do you suggest Joe. Now that I have someone's attention. Keeping stock bore, crank, and head volume, N/A?
And tuned for emissions regulations with a single cat!

The rotating assembly only facilitates what really makes the power - the valvetrain. Bumping the compression a point or so will only get you a handful of HP.
