Think I found why my car's a gutless turd.

"The pistons are .155" in the hole, which means, that's 7.5:1 so after I put the heads on with the composition gasket instead of the factory steel shim, 7.4, so what's a tenth of a point between friends right?

The 155 hole motor was the same 440 bottom I used to go 12.0s

Mine's a 383, though.

Your compression was 7.5 to 1?

Pretty sure he said he had shaved closed chamber heads and steel shim head gaskets earlier. (If I remember right, which I'm probably not).

They were talking about a motorhome 440

As they showed in the first part

Then they dynoed a 383 vs a 383

Probably 8:1

Me? It was a buck 54 in the hole, with about an 82 cc 906 and a steel shim. Iirc. Pretty good for our air up here. I always came back to about 460 horse or so. But again, that's a 440 .

The heads were well- ported and it had a .528 MP cam
