Do you want to run pump gas or race gas? JE for the brand you just need to know what compression ratio.

The more compression the less reliable you will be. There isn't really a problem until you get like 12.5/1 then the head gasket becomes an issue, or has for some people. The more compression the more power. The more compression you have the hogher octane gas you need to run.

I have been running 11-2-1 piston without any reliability problems...a even mix of pump gas and VP red keep detonation away and ohhh boy does it scoot...

Are you under the impression that you need a piston to use the cam? Also what cam? If it is a stage one you don't NEED springs.

Barlett's right about the rod![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img]

Has anyone tried the 13/1 piston? I wonder about the rod life. I might go with the 12/1 JE to be safe.
