Your going to have trouble making any kind of power with 8.5:1 compression, unless your running a SC or TC. I'd use a different intake other then the Victor Jr. But thats me because it like power.

Bet it isn't. 0.030"-over, perhaps.

(Just trying to be accurate, you know.)

Small chamber heads would be the only way to get decent compression.

most Dart heads are small chamber, so actual CR is around 9.5-9.6:1
