Computer/Internet Dreaming on bench racing without any Dyno testing is only guess work.
The project should be how to make real power with the least modifications and the least or lowest amounts of cash.
There is hardly anyone track racing and components of the past are almost non-existant not to...
Big block kits we sold all have pistons that are with in 2 ten thousands of an inch of each other.
China and Japan all use the best German and Japanese CNC machinery now so I would worry

job and this is the real facts. We have a very large inventory of big bore kits and sold many
before we ran into any problems. In spite of what many want to think we did not want to try
