did the machine shop give you a print out on any numbers .i work with Tq and with RPM your going to be at most of the time as for your CR and gas grade you can get away with more CR at times with getting the piston to block deck heigth right and knowing what dynamic CR you have will let you know what grade of gas you may get away with . i like to work all this out for my customer s

ya, no numbers , I guess that the confusing part

maching the engine is one part but making every thing work is another.i would watch the CR if under heavy load all the time with lower grade gas can be done if somone is willing to do the work . i would match cam and cr to rpm and use the V teck heads or a after market iron head with new intake for the new heads if not that buy a Gm crate engine
