I'll have to call them tomorrow and see what they have to say about that. The estimate they gave me say 9.8:1

That is a bummer! I wonder why AFR didn't stamp the last digit in the part number? I have #1422 with the 58cc chambers on the 347 in my GT40 and it dynoed at just over 530HP at the flywheel. It looks like you have part number 1420 if they are 72cc and they would have to be replaced or run a blower!

I talked to my engine builder today and they were unaware that AFR offered the 72cc chamber. They are going to pickup my engine from my house, fix the problem, and then deliver it.

Deviousfred,
Thanks for pointing this out. I would have been really pissed with the performance of the motor once it was installed.

No problem man. You can always boost it and leave it as is.
