hey every1, i havnt been here in a long time. I finally may get some work done with my stang. 86 hatch. I am looking into doing a rebuild but goin supercharged. I need to bring the compression down to around 8:1. I was going to keep it on the same 302 no bore or stroke. Ive seen the formulas to get ur compression ratio but it needs actual measurements. so would a flat top piston bring me down to 8:1 or close? any help thanks

also forgot to mention i will be switching to carb and running a roots style charger.

 

so your gonna run the weiand 174??, what heads you plan to run??? a dished piston is the first place to start but depending on the cc of head you choose will reflect what cc dish is needed on the piston

 

Im lookin at this head EDL-60229 exhaust is 60cc and intake is 170cc. Is there something nicer in the same price range? 400-600? what ccs should u be looken at? im goin for a decent budget build something no more then 5k hopefully
