I think the HP was rated at 10.25. But of course as we're all aware, they blueprinted less. Still though, pretty formidable. 425LBFT stock ain't nuthin to sneeze at. I would think if you get it to an honest 10.1 I wouldn't advance it any more than what the card says. At maybe about 9:1 I might think about a few more degrees. JMO.
Im very hopeful that the compression is decent, it’s got at the other HP goodies. I think your thought process is solid, advancing the cam might help if the compression is lower than ideal. Should work pretty well otherwise.
I’m looking forward to the first WOT 2-3rd powershift. Should be a hoot.
