I'm preparing to order a stroker kit and wanting to understand where I'll end up on static CR with iron vs aluminum. The default CR pistons that TMeyer sells are either flat tops or 20cc dish. With a zero deck and 64cc chambers, that comes out right at 10:1.
I'd like to start with my iron cc heads (63-64cc) and have an option to switch up to aluminum and take advantage of their ability to withstand a bit more CR before detonating.
Aluminum head offerings seem to be 60, 62, and 72cc. Besides Trick Flow and Edelbrock, what else is out there (besides the old high port race stuff)? Chi? Speedmaster scares me....I've seen what a dropped valve seat does....and guides slipping doesn't interest me either.
For those who built for pump gas (91-93 octane), I'd like to see what others have done for piston choice, in terms of dish/dome volume, combustion chamber volume, and head material. I understand that dynamic CR is the major factor in what will run on pump gas, just trying to gauge what's been done in case I'm missing something.
...and then there's this timing set keyway issue that just popped up.
