[QUOTE="Highway Star, post: 12406335, member: 138035"] B&D. Overcammed? Why? What is your definition? I totally understand the desire to go up in compression but have you talked to anybody that has done that? I considered it because I forged my rotating assembly, but decided not too because it would add a complicating factor to the build that was already complicated enough given that i would have been the first person to do all those things. Livernois and some others make 11.5 compression pistons and you can order anything you want higher than that i suppose. Raising compression even .5 creates a heck of a lot more heat. heat is the enemy. Higher compression requires good gas or detonation risks arise just like in supercharging. Given the 91 octane here, I just decided to leave it alone. The heat issue is just too big a risk in my opinion for me to go that route given that iwas going to track the car as well as drive it. It may be doable and driveable and reliable, I just don't know anyone that has changed the intake, ported the heads, changed the cams AND upped compression. [/QUOTE]
