With 10:1 compression. 6lbs? 10lbs? This would be with forged pistons.

Cool, this would be on a 393w stroker. It would be a cast crank good to the same hp as the block around 600hp. The lowest compression kit I can find with pistons cut for the twist wedge design has a 10.20 compression ratio.

Probably just swap the 3.33 paxton pulley back to the 3.75 pulley giving around 6-7lbs. It'll be more than enough power for my little street car.

I'm going to have the machine work done to the block, have the kit balanced and build it myself. The DSS kit is out of my price range. I'm looking at the coast high performance street fighter 393w kit or just buying the individual parts myself to make my own kit. Using eagle crank/rods,probe pistons,total seal plazma moly rings and sealed power bearings. Either way would be around the same price but would get better rings/bearings if I piece it myself. The pistons I have found will give me a 10.2 compression ratio with my 61cc heads. Doesn't say how thick of a head gasked they are using. Cometic has some head gaskets that are .04 thickness and .075 thickness. I think the .075 should get me around a 9.75 compression.

What u could do is just get the piston u have dished so that u can retain that proper squish factor around the edge of the cylinder to allow the compression rings to seal as they wouldin a stock application. 9.0 9.5:1 would be ideal and u could roughly get about 13 to 14 psi with a cast crank. Good luck
