OOOhhhhhh damn... that sucks. I've seen that a few times with folks. It's super easy to do. I get it... that's the way to go for now anyway and revisit later. You might find that when everything is correct, you'll have the power you're looking for. Send pics... we all like pics here...

In addition to the other's questions... What are your current cam specs and are you looking to change them... such as you want more duration, more or less LSA, more lift, etc.? Where I see a lot of this start to become an issue is with the heads concerning lift and springs having issues with...

I would add that providing advertise duration (i.e., @0.006 for flat) and including the actual valve timing would be essential. There's a lot of information in there, especially when combined with @050 duration and LSA.

100%... You can have pretty bad swings and never know it. And after all that you have to be certain of your mark is actually TDC and your cam is timed... reflecting what @33 IMP referred to. But... also like he said, the OP said the ping was before the sniper so that kinda rules that out.

Oh... I completely missed that point concerning the history. Well, if that's the case, then I'm off base when it comes to the sniper posts :) Hmmm. So, this is definitely a brain teaser. wish we had a video of the pinging... to hear it and see when it's happening. You got me thinking about...

Looking at the pics, I see potential evidence of too much timing based on the strap. My point about timing, which I think got lost... is there are at least three different steps to setting it. So, while your sniper says 14*, it can be much higher.... that's all.

100% agree.... and I would add parts are not getting cheaper... at least not for Mopar.

i must have fat fingered it... I did the same and got a higher number.

that's awesome. If I had access to E85 like that I would have a ton more compression. Yeah, I have 93, but what I want is over a 100...:) And definitely put on boost...

curious, why 9.5 with those numbers?

not to beat a dead horse, but i posted earlier about timing questions i had. I seems like a timing issue to me and that's easy to get wrong with a sniper controlled hyperspark - if he's actually running a hyperspark

Then the CR is much less! Wow... 91 is max? Yet another reason i don't live in CA :) But, they do have ethanol at the pump... if I had access to it at the pump, I'd convert to it for sure.

Something is off here. First, and I may have missed it, but what is the exact gas you're running? What octane rating and how much ethanol is advertised? Anyway, this shouldn't be pinging... I have more CR and piston psi than you and run on pump 93 all day long in the middle of hot North...

Sounds cool. Looking forward to seeing how it pans out. Is it currently totally stock?

just my $0.02... but A&A makes GREAT stuff... definitely, recommended.
