COMPRESSION
How much power is it worth and what is the easiest way to get it and how do i know how much i need.right now im @ 11.50 with flat top 2 valve relief pistons,65 cc on afr 210 heads,pistons are 15 thousands in the hole @ tdc.406 sbc.cam is 260/264@50-693/645, 108lsa, sold roller motor

I think it would be worth your time to gain some compression. There is no fast and easy formula to tell you how much you would pick up per point. The easiest way would be to have your heads cut. You will have to watch P to V clearance. Closing up the quench area would do you a big favor but being .015 down the hole there is not much you can do about it.
Why so far below the deck? You are running gas right? Curtis |
Compression
If you want compression, pistons are what you need. If that is not practical, stay with what you have or sell it and build a high compression engine.
13.5 compression is common, but it takes better parts to make it durable and powerful. |
With a .040 head gasket and the other info You listed You're compression now is 11.15 to 1.If You went to 0 deck clearance You would be 11.5.Bill.

A .025 gasket with Your other info would be 11.5 to 1.I have a 412 sbc, 2 years ago I replaced a GM block with a Dart little M and new pistons,went from 13 to 1 to 14.5 to 1.Best et before 9.79, after 9.67.Bill.

I agree with Mark that pistons are a good way to go, what I stated was the easiest. That's what you asked for. To me though having a flatter piston and getting the compression I want is better. Nothing getting in the way of the flame front and angle milling rolls the valve angle.
I don't know what is in your engine regarding " selling what you have and building a high compression motor". The parts in the bottom you have now may be fine. This is not an attack on Mark's comments. He could be right, I just don't know specifically what you have in your engine. Just my opinion on what you are wanting to do. Again, is this on gas?

YES 110 VP,JE FLAT TOPS 2 RELIEF,EAGLE CRANK/6 INCH RODS/BULLET CAM/GS ROLLER LIFTERS/SUPER VIC INTAKE 1050 HP HOLLEY.CAM SPECS ARE ABOVE POST Curtis |
With that cam profile, and Carb, I would throw some compression at it.
14.0+ depending on what Gas you can get. Be carefully with that stock block. |
