DAMN! 12.5 pistons, what do you need, like 110 octane!? That would be a super sexy setup, but I wonder how lumpy those cams are.<--I wonder if this setup is streetable.

12.5 wouldnt be streetable I think.  i would cc the head and pistons and pocket the pistons accordingly to drop the CR at least a point.
