Just takes a little homework and a discussion with a builder that can explain everything to you.

Might as well do everything in one shot and enjoy the upgraded power and not have to mess with extra shipping and waiting on parts.

AMS seems to do pretty decent work...I would not put KB hyper pistons in my enemies engine for fear of shrapnel.....they also offer a forged piston as an upgrade...would be a worthwhile upgrade

Thanks. I have been playing with their calculator. The bad thing is its hard to determine which compression ppl are referring to when discussing cams. I think most are referring to static compression Un general but it is hard to be sure.

static and cranking compression are listed once you put in what you want

RB racing and a few other sites have good accurate calculators as well

Compression is only the enemy if you have poorly matched components

We've had Accelerator I, II, and the Pro version, along with Quartermaster, Quartermaster Jr. and Cam Analyzer for a couple decades now.
Handy programs when wanting to look things over.
