yeah, you want about 8.5:1 compression for a good stout FI setup. If you are going to have everything apart, get some forged reverse dome pistons and 6.0 heads. Talk to the manufacturer for the pistons and get what it takes to make 8.5 comp. I can tell you that much, I'm still looking for a cam for my similar setup...

Since Im running the 4.8 heads the CR is pretty high and since the temps have been 85+ I was getting audible detonation so I started using a 75%-93 octane/25%-100 octane AV fuel and the audible is gone but Im still getting 3 degrees detonation at one spot but before it turned hot 93 was perfect! I think the e-fans along with the LS1 intake will take care of it but Im still gonna adjust the tune for the summer. Once I get a bigger cam I wont have to worry about it. I havent dynoed it yet becuase Im not at a point were Im worried about it but will after the new mods. I dont have any track times either becuase of traction issues! **whisper** I still have a open diff! I can roast 20's from a dead stop for a 1/4 mile or so! If I were to safely guess I would say I should run mid 12's on spray mid 13 on motor on 16's!
