That's a good ratio. A lot of ppl are running that or 11:1

10.5 sounds good. Minimal difference between that and 11. What plugs will you be running?

Just want to say that it's awesome you're so organized with your tear down. Takes experience to get that stuff down!

Dude, SO organized. I need to do this on my next build.

Long time no see... the car has been down for almost 2 years due to some bent valves... but she will be back up this season
