I hear u Stu...
I didn't know the pistons were set up this way until the thing was put together, nothing I could do then. Also not being a mechanic I didn't realise the implications that these pistons would have.
I bloody wanted accralite forged with cutouts for bigger cams down the line. Now I have what I said, pistons sitting lower than usual, supposed to be standard comp but obviously not.
I have one of your 380+ chips in the L8 and now I'm not so sure that the pistons will cope with the boost etc.
I was 100% assured that it will work but listening to yourself and everyone else on here, it won't.
I'm once again confused as to where to go from here.
The engine is together and running sweet. 1000 mile burnin complete.
Was going to set it up for boost next week.
If I'm doing wrong or right I don't know, I'll just have to wait and see.
Ideally I want to spend a morning drinking coffee over with you guys before Ford Fair...not sure if you'd want to take on doing this mapping now with the info above......
Can it ever be right with these faacking pistons???
I guess if I hear a BANG, I'll know.
Thanks for the reply anyways, will post again with results ( if any )
Cheers,
Philip.
