Just another update. I bit the bullet and ordered pistons with 1/16, 1/16, 3/16 ductile/moly rings from Ross. They will take 3 weeks but it sounds like they are worth it. My 077 heads were 112cc. The combo will be right around 10.4:1 compression.

I also called Comp Cams and ordered their Xtreme Energy XR274R solid roller cam kit. It's a special order because the cam I wanted is 11-770-9 which is a solid core and the only thing available on paper was 11-770-8 which is a cast core. http://www.compperformancegroupstores.co...;Category_Code =

All in all it sound like this package will work good for what I am doing.

Thanks for all the comments, replies and help. BTW...keep them coming. Kurt
