Well,I have the same Aussie Intake you have,and you're saying that Boost isn't good with that one I'll just stick with the original build intentions and go for NA compression ! Again I won't know everything I need 'till I get my head from Frank,and the block taken apart once it's out ! A 54cc head should give me 10.6/1,then depending on where it sits in the block will help me with the other decisions !! Yes,as stated I have have Main studs and Head studs,don't think I'll be taking it far enough to have to worry about O ringing at all ! Just going to play it by ear,nothing set in stone !! I was more than pleased with my last build,so this will just be a step or 2 or 3 or ...more ??

Thanks for the good information. With what you'd bought for the engine (some GREAT parts, BTW) I wasn't sure how you'd decided to proceed.

That will be an excellent intake system for a normally-aspirated powerplant, and has a LOT of visual appeal, too!

We're going to use it on our turbo engine to get a baseline, and then change over to a Clifford short-runner manifold to see if that makes any difference. It is supposed to, under boost. We'll see...

Good luck with your project; it sounds like a lot of fun!!!:cheers:
