i wouldnt bother without lowering the compression but with good conservative tuning anything is possible...IMO 4.2psi isnt worth $2,000

like dave said, with conservative tuning, pretty much anything is possible.

Tuning is everything if you do. I used to know someone that had this much compression and ran a S/C at the same time. However, he did blew it up while he was adding more timing on the tables via Zynde.

Anything is possbile but without knowledge of what the engine is doing, why bother with it.

Safe to stick with OEM rings and pistons for the best realible and longevity. Do you know anyone with 50,000 miles aftermarket component?

yeah bert, i remember doing that. destroyed stock piston ring lands(actually melted the edge of pistons). i have learned alot about what can and cannot be done since then. high compression and a JRSC are a potentially volitiale mixture that will not last long without serious tuning.

Yeah, well, you live and learn.

Next time when you have the compression again, you'll know NOW on what NOT to do.
