Its all good- so far!

With as much time and money that I expect to put into this project, it is still
what I call a POC -proof of concept. So some of the little extras like cryo treating the crank and rods, thermal coating the piston tops, valves and exhaust runners just won't happen this time. I doubt that I would spend the money on cams if I found a set.
So for now I will make the most with 8.5:1 pistons, as far as engine mods go, and spend the extra on proper fuel\boost control. Port and polish I can do for the cost of the cutting heads so I will do that.
I dodn't intend to break this engine in the name of research but, sometimes thats just the way the pistons crumble.
It certainly would not be the first engine to relocate it internals while on my dyno.
