318 power!

Dan, what I'm saying is the rules allow more compression whatever nominal is. No engine builder is going to give up compression. So I'm saying he isn't running 8.5:1 so your math IS wrong. And I'm in now way calling John a liar. I'm calling him a racer.
He is a racer, and a good one at that. I didn't know anything about what the rules allow for compression ratio. I was merely going by what was stated, so that makes my math wrong and I admit that. Didn't mean to stir up a hornet nest, I was just asking a question of which I didn't understand the post. Sorry everyone, it was my bad.
