Diamond told me that the -11.5 cc pistons would put the CR of a stock headed 2v mustang right around 9.8-9.9:1, And they stock CR is 9.5:1 so i didnt think it was a huge increase.

I understand what you are saying about the 4v heads flowing better Ox, but I have seen a few 2vs running 10:1 CR with boost and their numbers is what made me purchase the block and piston combo in the first place.

Why did you sell the block if it is exactly what you wanted?

I would most deffinitely say so. Like i said my buddy has a tad over 10:1 compression with a 2v and is putting down 14lbs of boost with a big blower with no issues on pump gas, with one of the most conservative tuners there is. so I dont see a 10:1 compression engine being a problem with anything under 15psi and pump gas.

yeah I dont really consider 12-15 "high" boost. I think he'd be fine without meth and a good tune. If he ever wants 20+ psi meth or e85 would be a must

I doubt he was using stock heads.
