Another couple questions. What kind of compression am I looking for if I want to do a naturally aspirated set up with a nitrous shot down the road. And what piston should I get with my kit? Flat top or dome or whatever? Looking to just go with all motor and then some nitrous down the road if I get bored. Street driven occasional track

If you are going to use an aluminum head I'd shoot for some between 10-1 and 10.5-1.
Thats very easy to do with the CHP kits.
Have the deck of the block decked so you have about .015 for hieght and use a 60cc chamber in the heads.......
That compression will allow to use some real good camshafts........

I would look around 10:1 or 10.5:1 the most, and I would run the afr 185 head. There just proven heads that make power

Alright yeah that's what I thought 10-1 but what about pistons would the flat top pistons that come with the chp kit be alright With what I'm trying to do?

You'll reach 10-10.5 compression with the flat top pistons in the CHP kit.........
