Let me see...
The pistons are on the way so I am a little stuck there but I can change the heads and the size of the combustion chambers. That could lower the cr a bit. That cr is based upon a 58cc chamber. If I go to a 64cc, I could be down in the upper 10s. The purpose of this motor is mostly for track days and street use. I don't really want to rev it to the moon. I will honestly spend most of the time winding up mountain roads and so forth in a mildly spirited fashion. My guess is that it will rarely see much over 5000 rpm. I may see a run or two at the drags for fun but I am more into the road courses.
The cam in question is a Schneider cam. It is a hydraulic roller cam. The part number is 32126 and the grind number is 300-08RH.
I currently have the option of changing the heads, carb, intake, exhaust and ignition. The rest is basically finished. I can still change the cam as the short block is not assembled. I have the mild cam in the block but I can pull it and install the new one before I assemble the rest of the bottom end.
Thanks a bunch for the help guys!
