Thicker head gaskets/ less compression...

RustyRatRod,

Compression is heat.
You can run aluminum heads at a higher compression ratio and have the same -heat in the cylinder -as a lower compression steel headed engine because steel retains heat more then aluminum.

The compression ratio is what it is.

How much:
-Air-Fuel-Pressure-Heat = Octane required to prevent pre-ingnition.

Low octane gas---------:rolleyes: lol

You repeated what I said almost verbatim. Look guys, don't just tell somebody they're wrong and back out. That's pussified. Ok so I'm wrong. Tell me why. I explained my opinion step by step. I'll tell you one thing I'm NOT misleading Greg on. He needs a cam with a later intake closing event. Period. End of discussion. That's my opinion and I stand by it. He's already gotten a thousand different opinions. Why make things more difficult for him by arguing some stupid moot point that's totally off track about what he needs? He HAS aluminum heads. The discussion aint about arguing the difference. I swear to almighty Christ, I think some of yall would argue about how best to screw your wife. Just jump in and do it.
