OK - we might do a sonic check and go to +80
By james lucop - 09/18/2002 4:41:21 AM; IP 195.92.67.68
If I can get it checked, then perhaps I can still go with the +80 pistons I bought. My engineer is scratching his head wondering why I'm being so cautious, but he's making some enquiries for me.

What minimum thickness am I looking for?

Out of interest, do I need to be quite so cautious even if I'm keeping the car stock, and not racing it? It is a '68 Mustang GT, so I'm looking at 10.5:1 compression and 325 HP at the crank, but I don't plan on taking it above 5500 rpm for any length of time. I just want to spin the back wheels every now and again, but certainly won't drive it above 100mph much.

I will be keeping the stock crank. I'm not trying to turn it into a 428.

thanks

James
