Exactly what I was thinking...seems like a nasty setup except for stock compression ...you're leaving lots of power on the table not to mention much snappier throttle response. I'd put some thinner head gaskets or get those heads milled...

i had a rough morning. for some reason i saw "mildly ported" and missed the afr part. scratch what i said, and the afr 210's would work great.

low compression is cause i am going with a blower and at this time i cant put anymore money into it and i wanna get the car running this year lol . that and its a whole new susp etc and i wanna kinda dial car in a bit before i go with blower . cause once i do its getting the single plain intake with a elbow etc, f.m.i.c charge piping new and bigger fuel system to run e85 etc . i have 2 kids and the ar is my hobby not my responsibility like my kids are lol . so all in all ill stay nitrous for the yr unless suttin changes and im running a 150/200 shot . this motor wasnt supposed to go into car yet as i wanted it all done before i tore it down but i fried 2 cyl,s at my last outing with car so i had to push it forward a bit .

With a blower you should be at 9.5 to 1 compression or 8.5 is even better Lets you build more Boost N/A you want 12 to 1 With 10.5 youll prolly be at 5 or 6 lbs of boost max

He can do a lot more then 5-6#s. Stock motors run 6-8psi with that compression, and he is fully forged plus will be on E85.
