'Just wondering about tweaking compression a tad since I gotta replace
the pistons anyway. Here's waving to ya - \|||| Owen' ME: Id certainly bump up the Compression with piston replacements ; you may notice a little improvement on torque..but, it wont be neck-snapping. |

And end up with LESS torque......
Bumping up compression will get him right into detonation, with the only remedy being backing off the static timing and the advance curve..... thus less torque. (unless someone wants to fuss with octane boosters every fill up) IF he goes with aluminum heads he can jump up .5 to 1 point max. dave wrote: >'Just wondering about tweaking compression a tad since I gotta replace >the pistons anyway. >Here's waving to ya - \|||| >Owen' > >ME: Id certainly bump up the Compression with piston replacements ; >you may notice a little improvement on torque..but, it wont be >neck-snapping. > > > -- Ric Seyler |

Bob, I've read in about every Vette publication that many engine parts
are getting VERY VERY VERY scarce. With all the ZR1s being autocrossed and raced.

Only had my '79 a little over a year, but I still have a couple of pieces of
my '67 I bought in '74, does that count? I still have the title to my '63 Chevy from 1970. Wish I had the car to go with it.
