    Thanks guys!

    Tech - I was using piston area to figure the percentage. 15/16" = .69029 square inches and 1" = .7854 square inches .69029/.7854 = .8789 1-.8789 = .1211 or 12% of the area. I used area because that is what is actually doing the work. Good to know someone is interested enough to check up on me! I did spend a little TOO much time reading Hot Rod mags in math class. Miss Terry said that would catch up with me one day!
