good ideas

Ceramic coated rings, I never heard of them but It makes sense. rings gobble up lots of power. I wonder if you could have them coated. I will check. I have been wanting a digital ignition for it. I am having a special cam ground. about 9.90 is the most compresion I can manage without milling the block or heads. 015 is minimum clearance for the KB pistons I want to use. 10.03 is most if I don't want to go above block. but thats enough.
I am using a performer intake. I have been wondering about a dry sump.
water injection sounds like a good idea also.

I like your ideas so far. keep them coming

whats your favorite synthetic oil?

it's a 77 with 72 body parts

I would feel kinda bad about butchering a true 72.

I figure I can gain about 5% with a richmond 4+1 ultra low first trani and 2.73 gears.
