easy ?: CR on 305 w/ L98 heads.

Just curious. I'm looking at lowering the compression a bit for use w/ a turbo.

You've got 9.3:1 stock, so putting L98 heads on will probably drop it down to around 8.6:1.

Are you putting the Vette version or the F-Body version of the L98 head on your L03?

Go to www.download.com and get "engine cr"

then you can see the difference in compression ratio with different heads your self.
