Converting to alcohol

I think that the problem comes that he's running a small block and with that kind of compression he'll have to have the block O ringed as 10 head bolts won't stand it for long. He's at about his safe point now with the cylinder pressure he has. I suppose he could run a big cam with lots of overlap and higher compression pistons but then you use on to combat the other, why squeeze it tighter and then bleed it off, just doesn't make sense to me IMO.
