Kevin,
The expensive bit for me will be the (custom) forged pistons, since flat-
tops ain't gonna be boost-friendly. I could get away with using flat- tops
and big-block or #8 (or 403 4A) heads. That would drop the compression to
a more boost-friendly number. Shooting for 8.0:1 - 8.5:1.
You're confusing me. To get 8-1 CR, you need a flat top piston. You also
need forged pistons to handle the pessure from the turbos. So what's the
problem? You will need to design a flat top forged piston to work in your
application and have Ross, J&R, Arias, BRC, etc. make it. In your case, it
will be a neat piston, since it will be down in the hole enough that you
won't need valve releifs cut.
