[BaadAssGremlins] Re: piston and ignition system opinions

Stock pistons are cast aluminum. Check on the speed pro online
catalog. I got .040 over forged pistons  for my 401 that are 10.1/1.
Comp ratio  will depend on which heads you use of course. Their
catalog will give you cid with the bore and compression with which
heads are used!! My 401 bored .040 is now a 409..."she's so fine..my
409"!hehehe!  Anybody remember the old Beach Boys 409 tune?   Hope
this helps--- In BaadAssGremlins@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, "wpvmddds"
