DamnedButDetermined is an unknown quantity at this point
I am looking to go with 9.0:1 pistons that way i can have a little more torque in the low rpms, but not too much comp as to bring on early detonation. I have been reading about alky injection, and it seems like a very good way to keep intake temp down when I want to run anything higher than 10psi. Normally 10psi wouldn't have a problem with detonation using 8.5:1 pistons, but I don't want to take the chance ecspecially because I live in florida (hotter than hell summers) and I only want to take my engine apart once.

So when they are talking about going 10/20 over for the bearings that is grinding the crank not the block, huh?

The Toga bearings are going to be an extra $40 for performance rod/main bearings.

What would you suggest in the way of premium pistons? Would they be more expensive if you wanted to get them in a different comp ratio than stock?

Do they make premium rods as well? or should I stick with forged on that?

thanks again for your help,
DbD
