I vote you have to stick to stock compression for sure since you have a massive advantage. Gasket matched E7s to what intake?
I have an 84 Mustang GT dual plane 4 barrel carb intake. BUT, when I built the Miata I port matched it to the stock intake gasket. The intake was a real POS before I started now I think it's pretty decent. I think the internal passages are still smaller than an Eldy Air Gap. It is shown on my FB Photo Album called MiniMonster which is my build thread for the car.
Hammer, it won't be easy for me to weigh it since it isn't street legal yet. Maybe I dig up some weights for other 5.0 conversions. That work?

I'm going to kindly disagree with this method. We all were able to reference other sources to find what our weights "should" be but that didn't stop hammer from harassing me until I actually weighed it. Small things add up. Just wait until you can weigh it, no biggie.

I understand. Every car is different and I did the vast majority of the "kit" myself so mine may be more different, weight wise, that I expect. lol
