Yes,in theory. The bigger camshafts,bleed that off..... A stick shift changes, the game. Comes down to tuning & torque ,with a four speed & 3:55's .

Not in theory. In reality.

If he has what he says that he has, and actually measured .010" down from the deck on a flat top piston .060" over.

With the fel pro .040" gasket that is approx 8.4 cc, he would be at 10.2.


The Mr. Gasket 1121G would give him 10.5 compression with a 72 cc head.


If he used the gasket kit from mancini racing, it has a 12.4 cc head gasket, which would put him at 9.8 compression.
