10.5 is low compression. And runs ok on a stock tune. Any higher needs a good dyno tune.

[MENTION=17007]RichV[/MENTION] this is the guy to talk to, the rest of us dabble in the compression pudding while [MENTION=14727]96blak54[/MENTION] baths in it.
And blak, yes 10.5:1 is low that is why i stated messing with deck heights. Im not sure he is ready for squish talk, and head deck heights, and so on "oh wise master"
Hehe

I think we may have surpassed his original purpose for this thread.
My last post there was a quick, in a rush type post. I wasnt trying to correct you or anyone.
Ive been so busy lately!!!! I feel my post quality is going south.

You're on the money there. That's why my V6 gave the PI cars a good run 
226/245 minus the weight.

Enlighten me.....
And blak.....im dealing.....dealing with life. Takes away from my hobby though. I was thinking about building some motors for profit...
260 is the HP limit for CMC, so that's all he needs to get to. At the tires of course.
So then if you're starting with a bone stock 2v PI 4.6, allowable mods are:
-CAI (not in the fender)
-LT headers
-any exhaust
-timing adjuster
-adj FPR
-must retain stock compression
No tuning allowed, can it be made to make 260?

Take the cams out and hand stone the opening ramp on the exhaust lobes.....lol. Should bump hp up a little. Also solid lash the intake valves. Heck....pull the heads off and lap the valves in real good will bring in 10hp

Is this a street car as well? Only mods that can be seen? If you can do an adjustable fpr can you do a pump and injectors? Do theybdo a compression test? Lol not saying to cheat but......what they dont know dont hurt em lol. Doing a slight cam regrind and solid lash adjusters like blak suggested would give you a noticable increase for a factory set up.
Dedicated race car. You can do pulleys as well.
Usually nothing is checked for legality, you need a dyno sheet each season. You can get protested and sent to the dyno. At national events, they may check compression, but it's rare. Cheating to make the allowable #s or cheating to give yourself an unfair advantage is different IMO.
