Ok, got off the phonw with TMI today....heads are being cc'd to work out the dish required in the pistons, final CR to be between 11 and 11.5:1 static.
Trying to have the parts shipped up here by the end of Sept.

Sweet Duncan...so you gonna do all the wrok yourself? For some reason I thought you sent your block to them. Dumb question, but with that compression, you gonna have to run premium octane? Or will the heads negate that?

I will be doing the work myself with a helping hand from a friend. The combination of AL, closed chamber, squish, altitude and cam should let me be able to run it on 91....which is our premium. If I go to the coast they sell 93-94 there and I really don't intend on the truck leaving our altitude, if anything 3500' is the minimum it will see. Originally we were gonna shoot for 12-12.5:1 but to be on the safe side will drop it. Cam will be in the .600 lift with 225ish and 235ish duration...I don't know the final specs yet.

With aluminuim quench you could go up to a whole point and a half compared to open iron heads... You could use 9:1/9.5:1 dyanmic cr on 91 octane... which makes a heck of a powerfull/efficient power plant, are you planning on a efi setup or a good ol carb?

I'm leaning towards a Demon carb at the moment. I've done some looking on fuel injection but haven't really seen anything that I like. I am familiar with both the TTS Mastertune and Thundermax products for bikes. Chances are it will wind up being a 750 Speed Demon.

I think it was.

I'm thinking I'll wind up with the carb set-up...I also want to get the cruise control to work, everything is there except the vacuum actuator and the linkage....I'm sure I can find something at the wreckers to make it work.
