Engine is with the builder, and getting hot tanked Monday! Asked him to guess what it should make power wise and compression ratio. Should make, his quick guess, 560hp. Gross, and crank, I'm sure, but still. Also, despite the flat tops, it's been heavily decked (as I'm sure most of you probably noticed from the pictures). So it should still be right around 10.5 or 11 to one. It'll scare the hell out of me, that's for sure
Interestingly, while it's all still getting replaced, the bearings and whatnot did not look that bad, and the rings are still very tight
