Donnie i am sticking to build the motor just like that &quot;quote&quot; i stated but will use the solid lifters though.
Nothing can change my mind about the flat top pistons and lower compression though, last motor i had running in there was a pain in the a@@ with the 11:25 to 1 compression, car would not run right with 94 octane and every fill up for gas i had to mix about 25$ worth of Very High Octane just to get the right gas. I really hated bringing that Cherry can in my trunk and paying $125 for each fill up.
At least with the Original LS6 rebuilt to my tastes i can drive in peace and just go to the gas station to get gas like everyone else. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img] </div></div>

Danny,
Did you try playing around with the timing...My stock L78 11: 1 compression runs great on 94 octane. I would'nt think that an additional .25 compression would make that much difference.
