That AFR head has 113cc chambers and my current 781s have 115cc chambers.
Could I possibly build my engine now, with that cam (they used the same intake as what I am planing on using) and use my heads with the pistons to 9.5:1 then later on if I feel more performance is needed, go to those AFR heads. The compression ratio will still be in the correct range.
What do you think techinspector1 ?
