Man no one will ever come close to what you are able to do with these cars. Like you say, their seems to be claims of 300whp cars out there but there is no proof of it. When you make whp you post your dyno sheet straight up. You can't get anymore proof of what you are producing than that. This is just awesome work and keep up plunging into new found power for us so we can keep modding our cars to keep up!!

You probly will not say what the static and cranking compression is so how about what rating fuel are you running?

At only 12 psi boost, you don't really need to change to the CP pistons do you?

Either that or wanting the insurance for extended high RPM use. He is advertising this as a "track ready" setup, right?

Ok next question. We need to stay with the NAM guide lines.

Because some are interested in the pistons did you choose a CP piston for a dome configuration to increase static compression to compensate for how far down the hole the oem pistons are and the combustion chamber of the rmw head that is very large?

It could also be to mirror the shape and size of the combustion chamber. Or to get that quench area just right.

thats a good thought, but the next time you are around a mini with the head off you will see why this is not the case

Any piston with a crown large enough to do that would be to heavy and would create hot spots on the both the crown and the underside where the crown would get hot.


Next question. As it has been sugested that this is a track engine was a plateau finish hone used to eliminated the need for a break in period? if so I imagine cermaic rings used?
