Before I even consider...

Just for a point of reference.
In the very same engine, I have run a 292, a 270 and currently a 276, always with a Dcr, of 8.9 to 8.6(aluminum heads). I think I have a fair understanding of torque and power. I will never ever build an engine for myself with less Dcr than what I currently have, and in fact, since this combo runs on 87E10, if I was to build another 360 for myself, the Dcr would absolutely be increased.I'd be heading into the low9s.
IMO, a Dcr in the 6s is a waste of money.IMO. Well except for maybe a lawnmower.
