What pistons are you running? Deck height?

Stock 400 pistons were about -22cc dish. Compression on the stock engine was around 8.5:1 with 76cc heads. Changing the heads to 64cc (Vortec) with no other changes puts it right around 9.3:1

thanks Damon...so regular pump gas(87 octane rating) should be fine right?
