Thank you. I plan to put it on The dyno in the next couple weeks after about 500 miles. PCM for less is where it will go. He did a bench tune already. He will dial it in on the dyno.

my question is with 12.5 to one compression is 100 octane necessary?

It might be closer to 13:1. It may not be necessary but building it probably wasn't necessary either lol
What specs do you need to dial inthe compression? Maybe we can figure it out.
Thanks

You don't know what your compression ratio is when your build is complete and the engine is running?

Default Only have 30 miles on new engine. Too soon for dyno?
Been tryin to put more miles on the engine, get the new engine broken in but this bad weather has been a problem and I've only logged on 30 miles so far.

It's been heat cycled and the 2nd oil change as been done but is it too soon for the dyno session on Monday? I forgot to ask Brain from Kaltech about this.

I did 200 miles. I was comftorble with that cause I didn't see smoke. Figured the rings were seated and good to give it hell. That's what it's made for lol
