So my skull is thick now huh?

Ohh give it up. You're telling a guy, a first time builder mind you, to build a motor on the butt end of detonation for a work truck. Something that can go from driving empty, to the extreme of hauling a tandem axle car trailer with a loaded bed. I doubt he wants to have to pull timing out of the motor every time he needs to pull something or gets crap gas. This is an iron headed carbed motor he wants to build. Not a current gen hemi with aluminum heads and a computer that can automatically pull timing out when it senses the motor starting to knock.

And I stand by my statement that 10:1 in a, iron headed, carbed, small cam motor is not on the conservative side.
