[QUOTE="SecondhandSnake, post: 16628403, member: 116684"] I wouldn't be too afraid of 11:1. There's guys out there running 13:1+, though as always, camshaft selection and dynamic compression ratio have to be accounted for. If you're concerned about fuel quality you can always have a backup tune or two on your handheld and flash it as need be. With the iron blocks the concern becomes the cylinder wall thickness. They can have issues with cracking in the bore. I also wouldn't worry about having to drill the block. It's incredibly easy, and very forgiving. You just drill right into the water pump cavity. The head gasket limits the orifice size anyway. I know Teksids are getting rare, but an 05+ WAP is just as good as an alternative. I'm just going off my experience building my engine and what I will be doing for the next one. [/QUOTE]
