I was leaning toward 112 LSA, but Craig over at COMP thought idle quality would suffer and the additional overlap would make the whole deal less street friendly. He did think it would generate more low and mid-range power though.

In the end I'm going to end up with more power than I really need so I erred on the side of idle and drivability.

For compression I was really shooting for 11.1 or 11.2 to one, but this is how it's working out with the pistons and the 72cc Mast heads. We might adjust it down a touch with the head gasket, but 11.5:1 isn't high, even for out crappy CA pump gas.

Horace at Mast was thinking it would be pushing 700hp.. now I just need to be able to hook it up. Also, while 700 is a good "magazine number" I would be happy with 650-670hp and a bad ass super flat torque curve.
