I've run both (190s & 107s), i will never use the 107s again after useing the 190s, the design of the 190 is to achieve the best quench possible, so you can get above 10.1, & still run on pump premium, the better the quench, the higher compression you can run on the same octane without detination, i ran the 268 cam in 1 360 that had the 107s, the other had the XE284H & 190s, stock J heads, RPM air gap, 750dp, it was night & day, cylinder (cranking pressure) was around 180, timing was at 36* all in at 2200, 456 gears, 2800 stall, never pinged a lick on 89.


Not hijacking but Joe did you have to machine the valve reliefs with that cam and the KB190 pistons?
