I could but i don't know what increasing quench distance will do. Plus the goal is to run as much compression as i can without shortening the life of the motor. Thicker gaskets also increase crevis volume which hurts performance from what i have read. The gaskets are 4.6 bore. So the plan is to run a .027 or .036 cometic and cut the dome which is .115 high and should give me enough to work with to bring it down to low 15 range. As is i suspect it will be about 16 to 1. I haven't had a chance to measure everything yet.
