Thanks for the reply. Where do I find the 29 deg ABDC number?
The CompCam link says 56 deg. Am I reading it wrong?
Here's the link:
08-410-8 - Magnum

If it was 56 deg, would the 18cc dishes still be ok? I haven't bought the pistons yet, so if the 12cc dish would be better, I would be open to getting them instead. I hope to be verifying the cc's on the heads in the next couple days and can calculate the actual SCR and DCR before I order the pistons and have the block bored.

I purchased and am studying the following two books by David Vizard. Thanks for the suggestion.
