i still wouldnt reccomend it......thats alot of compression in our little motors.....but you COULD if you wanted to...of course, if you were only gonna run 4psi, then why waste the money and time on a turbo????? just get some nice cams instead

the last thing you would want is to spend $1700 on engine work, then get the turbo and slap it on, and blow your engine in a month....if you are planning on turbo somewhere down the road, mine as well go with the low compression pistons

yeah just realize that 4psi is too much on that much of a compressed engine. Like spud said, you could just get some real nice cams and you would be fine.

I could get A cam Since its a single slam! But thats down the road, AFTER she is built. Since i already have a cam that is a tit bit better than the 95 stocker.

Still havent gotten any work done on the head, Since my father wishes for me to grind the head OUTSIDE. Since there are shiney things in the garage (H2, Harley... ect.) And this stinkin ohio weather doesnt help!

I dont see it taking more than a good days work to get the head done anyway.

Another thing, VALVE SPRINGS. Can I REUSE the stock ones? OR Where can I Find Magnum springs? (shoulda got them from das!) And will the stock retainers fit in magnum springs or willI have to get Magnum springs AND retainers?

just make sure that you arent just grinding stuff down......you will get the best outcome if youjust gasket match the ports...intake and exhaust

what kind of bit are you using to do the grinding???
i have found that the best bit for doing the grinding is one that from the front looks like a chineese throwing star, but its about a 1/4" long.....this thing takes that aluminum out like nothing
