p.s. oh, just out of curiousity, what do you guys think the best compression ration would be for a TPI350? (1991 if it makes any different) the current CR is 9.5:1, but i'm rebuilding the motor, and need to know if a high would b better, i don't plan on blowing it, completely n/a, though it might get nos in the near future

its used for the flat tappet cams. A good compression would be in the low 10's cr for a screaming small block unless you want a supercharger, than your going to want to go into the 8's

It's not for flat tappet cams, it's for putting retrofit roller cams into non roller blocks.
