techinspector,
I'm trying to balance what I have already purchased with my goals of running cheap gas and having good street torque.

I already have this cam:
08-410-8 - Magnum

I was planning to purchase these 18cc D Dish pistions:
Keith Black/KB Pistons KB142-030

This was based on advice you gave in this thread:
SBC 350 build

where you were talking about matching components and this was one of the options relating to a build very similar to mine.


"Now, if a fellow moved to an 18cc D-cup instead of a 12cc,
KB Pistons for Automotive Applications
then the static compression ratio would be somewhere around 9.1:1 and you might use a camshaft such as this one....
COMP Cams 12-410-8 - COMP Cams Magnum Hydraulic Roller Camshafts - Overview - SummitRacing.com

It's all about the combination. You have to choose pieces that will like each other and make max power for the combination."
I'm not trying to be difficult and I do value your input. At this point I'm leaning to using my existing cam and going with the 18cc piston. Can we make this work?
Thank you.
