You can't copy it, but you can quote it with footnote.

I want to read the chapter where he stresses that you need to be at 12:1 for a small block to be happy. Sorry Jerry, couldn't resist. You never even posted back the other night. You know what they say about first impressions. The one thing I stress with my 10 year old is think about how you word things and if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. Don't take any of this the wrong way, your first words to me were "I don't like your pistons at all", really? What do you expect?

And to the multiple members who sent me PM's, thank you for your words, and yes, I think I get it now.

I won't beat a dead horse, but NOBODY will tell you you don't get more horsepower, and better fuel economy with 12-1 over 10-1. If you are going to spend all that money to build a fast motor why build a half-fast motor?  If you run the same intake and cam it will run just fine at low speed and you can prop to run at whatever RPM you want to. You wouldn't run it at 6 grand all day, but you build a motor that will hold up and give you years of dependable service. A short piston like that should have teflon buttons to keep it from rocking in the cylinder, I think a piston with a skirt would give you more stability and longer life. Do what you want, I was just trying to help, because you asked.
