How much compresion can the Felpro#1008 headgaskets handle with the help of cylinderheadstuds? the plan is to use the Scat #1-48013 stroker kit wich if i mill the openchamber edelbrockheads can give enough compression to be a good choice for E85 or just run it with the big chambers on pumpgas and a crane #698801 solid roller camshaft with 260/266@.050lift and .630lift,i think it could be a real fun street/strip combination,whats your opinion?

Pretty sure you will be cutting the guides at .630 lift - no matter what seals you use. Second question answer should come from Comp. 12:1 and over I'd be looking at MLS gaskets - even with studs. 1008's will work for a while, but my experience is that they will eventually start to leak. A lot will depend on the cam profile ( intake valve closing / overlap). Fastest 300

The cam has .427 lobe lift and the lifters bores are bushed.The reason it has so much lift is I have 1.65 ratio T&D rockers. I ran them in another motor without bushed lifter bores but had another cam from Bullet that had a smaller base circle. It was .665 lift. 7763215-CIMG0081.JPG (15 downloads) 1.33 60 ft,6.21 at 110.59 in the 1/8, pump gas small block,2950lbs,drag radials,mufflers and driven to track ...
