Re: Compression Ratio? (UB2 SLOW)
ask the guy who did your heads if they were decked. if they were not decked your compression is the same as stock or maybe 0.1 less from the chambers being worked.

If you went from a ~56-58 cc head to a 54.4 cc head, and nothing else changed, you probably added .2-.3 points. So you are probably somewhere in the vicinity of 10.6-10.7.

He will shave a little off the heads where they attach to the block to assure flatness. If he takes off more than a few .001s he may need to also shave the intake base to assure a good matchup.

You're probably not going to realize much of a difference. A couple cc's won't affect any noticeable change.
Be sure to mill the intake to match the heads. If your ports are mismatched, you will likely notice a loss.

Re: Compression Ratio? (UB2 SLOW)
He has my intake, heads and the trottlebody. He is going to port & polish and make sure everything is matched. I am hoping for some serious flow. I ran the setup on Dyno 2000 software with 10.4 compression and it gave me 365 hp at 5500 and 435 tq at 4000. I am not sure how accurate the software is. After I get the actual flow numbers I will put them in and check again. [/QUOTE]
What is he charging you. I want to do the same and was wondering what it should run?
