What kind of heads are you running? Aluminum heads transfer heat faster than iron and thus can take more compression before detonation rears its ugly head.
Cam choice... hmmm... what are the specs on your current cam?

Current cam is the performer rpm cam, can't find the specs. Is it possible I can use it as is? Heads are the iron smoggers 76cc, 882 is the last 3 digits in the casting number.

Opps! forgot, I haven't picked a carb. Was running a Holley 600, vac secondaries in the boat, but that carb is tired, was going to start fresh. Open to suggestions. There is so much knowledge here, I really appreciate it.
I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
