What about the compression ratio?

Thanks

Also, what kind of upper intake manifold are you going to have / do you have?

I will use the same Stillen intake manifold just port match it to the head for optimum flow. I decided not to do a stroker kit mainly because I dont want to sacrifice that surface area of the block for heat transfer and reliability. I’m using the Billet crank for extra insurance mainly. The build will be good up to 1200 but will only push it to 900 but will overbuild in case I decide to bump it up a little more. I will stick with stock 11:1 compression on the pistons. Here is my internal build list. Allot of this is OEM replacement stuff like the bearings and timing chain but just a list what is being done. I’m already running a duel fuel pump setup with a 340 and 450. And I already have a Quaife LSD installed.
