Gears are going to make anything fell fast or slow.

As far as the heads go, I see guys running smog heads here on 9:1 race motors that are losing a whole ton of power because of them. Open chamber heads are never a good idea, even on a budget.

well, ok we know my heads suck and i'm losing power. What if i got some 50cc pro actions and used them with my ~9cc domed pistons. If i dont have any clearance issues, and i do a little more reshaping taking out anoter 2cc's, you think this would work ok? providing i use water injection all the time, which i dont mind filling up every 4 days. Or is that too much obstruction for a small chamber. cuase it'd be pretty neat running 14:1 , and i think it might give me a few ponies and pounds.
