My second choice in a cam. Maybe I should have stuck with it.

I did a cam for a buddys' 10.0:1 455 in a T/A, 232/244@.050 and he has a 3000-3200 converter, it's just right. You can figure it from there.

A far a my machine shop, he asked me what piston I was going to run so when he punched out the block 0.60 he wanted the pistons to size them for the final hone. I was not sure if I had to bush my rods to run a piston like that. I thought the rod needed to be bushed. I guess if the pin is the same size as stock it can be pressed. Yes it can. I guess I have to rethink my build. That's why I ask for advise here. No problem

Thanks
Both the Wiseco and Icon have a 15cc dish and are about .015 taller than the Speed pro which normally gives you at or near 0 deck. Plus as mentioned they're a whole bunch lighter.
With 77cc heads you'll be at about 10.25:1 or so. Couple that with the cam I mentioned and you'll be in good shape. I can email you a soundbyte if you like.

Thanks.

That's a little small, imo.

I would if you want to add a sniper nos kit about 120 to 130 at the wheels under a full load more power when needed. I have used a sniper kit with zero problems but you will for safety need a aftermarket pump for it plus the usual bs. i have seen good systems used also just test the solenoids with a 9 volt battery.

Thanks Cutlassefi! here's a short clip of the custom ground Luntai roller I bought off him.
very happy with everything. I'll have a big update on the car. A full video that goes into detail.
