> When the time comes ill lower CR to 10:5:1 area or less, go with high boost pistons, billet mains, arp hardware and a better crank. Sell the rotating assembly i have an swap in a new one. I just wanted to see and read open discussion from people who know their stuff. Im really glad 10secondc is on here now because he can explain more in depth about these motors.

your pistons are fine…swap out to a 5.7 head and you will drop compression to 10:1 possibly 9.5:1.
