Default Rebuilding the engine

I am going to be rebuilding my engine very soon. I need to know if I can run pump gas on a 12.5:1 piston? What cams are best? Can anyone recommend someone who does good head work? Best cluch springs? How much do you think this will cost me with and without labor? Thanks in advance.

No you cannot run pump gas with 12:5:1 ratio. I believe you'll have to run atleast 100 Octian.

I think the 11.5:1 piston you can run on 92 octane.... I dunno any others that you can still run on pump gas.

Depending on what kind of cam you're running I'd have to agree with saying 11.5:1

Thanks for the advice... I am still debating on weather I should do it myself or have someone else do it for me it depends on whether I have time when I get the parts.Thanks again.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
