was just thinking, how about a shift register? there has to be one that will work for him. ~Andrew

The 555 timer is easy here is an example: If you had a plc i could do it easly..... else this will take some thinking. mikeatripi is on the right page i think you will need some type of counter.... hmmm, like a segment counter.. then just use the outputs to trigger trans. and when the number is say 4 it can be reset.... interesting idea... just needs some thinking. ~Andrew

ok, that is not even right! i got 14's with my specv with simple bolt ons..... poor poor car ~Andrew

why not both???? http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-12760_7-9672294-5.html little expensive, but they will come down after christmas ~Andrew

Here is a thought, what about o-ringing the block? I have read on here that a couple people have done this, it will help keep the head gasket in place. Anybody try doing this as a fix for this problem? ~Andrew

another option: http://www.arizonazcar.com/coil.html ~Andrew

"his z" damn this board is getting full of wisconsin people! where are you getting it blasted again? ~Andrew

from that post i got saw this from braap: Since i will be at .025" i am good, closer would be better but i am good. Thanks guys, maybe the title should be change to ross guy not knowing what he was talking about ~Andrew

sorry i had wrong information in my last post, my deck hieght will be .63mm, with a head gasket of 1.27mm this will leave me .64mm or .025" which if it is good to have .015 then i have a little bit of a breathing room it looks like. I will call wiesco and try to talk to someone else from there and see what they say. Thanks for the help ~Andrew

With my setup it would have put my piston at .063mm above and i told him that my gasket was 1.27mm he did say wow that was a thick gasket but still that it should never go above the deck. So one of the reason that this is ok is because we have such a thick head gasket and it will help in quench. I also told him this would be a turbo and was asking why i was staying with such a low comp... i was told the guys now a days are running around 9 to 1 with turbo! but they only wanted 577 for the pistons, 158 for the rings, and 60 some for the pins. he told me no need to go with special pins cause my 15psi is not that extreme.... should i ask for someone else, or try a different company? ~Andrew

alright, i have fond information on here that i feel is a little bit misleading. this means that the piston will be above the deck 0.15", correct? I was just talking to the tech line at Ross and i was told that you do not want to be above the deck, you want to be even with it. Only if the head was couter bored, meaning it hade a 87mm cicle cut into it, then we would go above the deck. for those that don't know i was looking to do: f54 block =207.87 height f54block = 87mm bore vo7 crank =83mm stroke l24rods = 133mm length piston = 34mm pin height = 8cc dish this equals 8.5 to 1 comp. Now the gentleman that i talked to said the pin height should be 33.38 and use a flat top piston with a 3cc valve relive cut into them. So my question is why does the piston need to stick above the block? and why does the guy that deals with pistons for a living say different? ~Andrew

i am looking at this cause you get everything you need, no need to section your strut so you don't have to make sure its straight even thought that would not be hard. the shock is rebuildable from my understanding. and it is all from one suplier, so if there is a problem you only have to call one number, that i think is very nice. ~Andrew

thats looks good and beefy! are you going to blast it yourself? and who is the one doing burnouts on your floor? ~Andrew

this is just so funny to me! ~Andrew
