I am totally comfused on both of your posts. You keep saying tension strength. What is tension strength? Also, what do you consider high compression in a Mod. motor?

Not necessarily though, every application is different, it all depends on your goals and how the engine will be performing. Most high horse power cars use aluminum I beams, it is hard to construct a H beam made of aluminum. You have to take into account where your engine will be most likely to fail, is it under tension or is it under compression?

11:1 needs 95. i heard this from a friend who has a big bore 4.6 that has 11:1 compression ratio. (just clarifiing for you mitch, its the guy with the white 99 cobra vert)
