You guys must have missed my other posts regarding this car. Here's my new cam card.

Poor(pour) Man's High compression engine.
Jack up one side of the car until the cylinder is straight up and down. Put a circle of thin card stock around a piston at TDC. It needs to be thin enough to fit between the piston and the cylinder wall. Drill several 3/8x 1/4 deep holes in the piston head and vacuum out the filings. These help anchor the DEVCON. Mix up some DEVCON and pour it in smoothing it as needed. Fill it to zero deck. Let it cure, remove the card stock, and repeat for each cylinder in that bank. Then lower the car and jack up and repeat on the other side.
Let us know how this works out. Its only been tested in a Hypothetical Hemi so far.

Close enough. I would advance it 2-4 degrees to get a tad more TQ. That could help the turbo spool a tad quicker also becaus then the EX valve opens while there is a little more EX pressure. I would still run a higher ratio rocker to take advantage of the better flow at higher lifts.

Another way around the problem would be to add 0.300" to the stroke. Or swap in a set of Hemi-length rods.

But realistically, you are either going to crutch it or change pistons.
