Well, I did 12.6:1 on the first build with super rich a/f ratios, 12.4:1 on the second build with 13:1 a/f... and now I should be able to run the same kinds of air/fuel ratios even with the slightly higher compression. We'll just have to take more time to tune it on the dyno.

Fully optioned out Hondata system, just like last time. The ECU setup is staying the same.

:P

Very nice.* I've seen some of swain's work and it is very nice.* Jet Coat also does good work.*

Keep us updated...

Thanks- I've seen Jet's stuff too, and it's awesome. Maybe I'll have some stuff done by them too, but Swain coats headers as well... we'll see.

When it's done? Read my post... the pistons are at the machine shop with the block getting sized and everything- they're probably back with my engine builder by now.

def. sounds like a nice setup. 12.7, damn. thats gotta be awesome.

[Calesta]

Well, we'll see just how nice it is in a few weeks... hopefully.

Those are some nice parts there.. deffinatly liking the piston design.. Nice amount of area before the first ring which is a real weak spot with alot of designs.

[imported_mntdewred]

so how do those new connecting rods connect to the crankshaft?
