compression ratio
hay guys, i need a little help. i am building a 355 and with the parts i have the CR was going to come out to be around 11:1 Is this too high of a compression for a fun daily driver? if so what should it be? here is what i have
scat cast crank, 3.480 stroke
forged i-rods 5.700
KB forged pistons -4.8cc bore .030
stock proted heads
i am using the hotcam with 1.7rr and 918 springs
i do not know the gasket thickness yet or the deckhight, all that can change as of now because the block is at the machine shop and the machinest thinks 11: 1 is too high and wont start on it yet untill i make sure that is what i want to do. IF what i have will be fine what gasket should i use? and what deck hight should i have? also if i have to i can change pistons to give me the correct CR. The car is a 94 Z28 A4 and i am going to go with a 3000 stall, and i will get the proper tuning. the best pump gas i can get is 93

Re: compression ratio
Since you're asking about an LT1, you need to post on "LT1/LT4 Engine Tech"..... not on Advanced TEch. I'll move it for you.
11.1:1 shouldn't be a problem with that setup.
