What the CR going to be?

With the 01 heads having been milled twice, it should be just above 11.0-1.

I've got the exact shortblock running in my car now and the extra compression with E85 is awesome......

Awesome. How much boost/timing can you run with 11-1 and E85?

Sweet. I've got the same pistons in my motor but I went with the 11cc dish. We've only got one E85 station in town and didn't want to chance being up a creek if they ever shut it down or quit carrying it.

So far I've only turned it up to 11#s (twin precision 60's) and it's gone as fast now as it did at 17#s. As for timing, it's around 20*-22*.

Yeah, I don't have a single pump within 30 minutes of my house. It's not my daily and I keep 30 gals in the garage at all times. As good as this stuff is, and as many new flex fuel vehicles are coming out, it's only a matter of time.

They sure are pretty aren't they......:beer:
