So you gonna do like 8.0:1 compression?

and who are you going to for the crank? And if you put the right things in the 8.5 12 bolt, can it stand up?

it already has a forged eagle crank and rods. and compression i dont know. there is no 8.5 12 bolt. ours is a 8.5 10 bolt. a 12 is 8.6 and it probably would hold but i would pay a few more grand and dont have that doubt in my mind.

HAHA I don't think you know what im talking about. Why wouldn't you want someone to know you have a o-ringed block? It won't give you more power, plus you told us how much power your going to make.
