How bad would this be 9.1-1 comp ratio with aluminum heads and GM hot cam?Would this be a dog with the 9-1comp ratio and aluminum heads?

Is the 9-1 comp ratio to low for the duration of the hot cam?

You can get by with more compression when using aluminum heads and a 10:1 CR with the HOT cam should work well.
