You will need to shave the head just to maintain your stock effective compression ratio due to the late closing of the intake valve with that cam.

We are attempting to build a (semi) streetable race motor for our 3. It has a Crane 244-310-8 cam, and the head has been ported and is running big valves, so we are figuring the compression should be in the 10.5-11.5:1 range. It has H-beam rods and a worked crank, but we will still keep the revs under 6500 in an attempt to keep it all in one piece. </div><div dir="ltr">There seems to be very little info on what people are running for race pistons floating around on the net. </div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">Thanks!</div><div dir="ltr">Jake & Karen Jacobsen </div></div></div>_______________________________________________<br>
