I personally know a few of the very best engine builders and very best cylinder head and camshaft guys there is and also ever was. I know for a fact not one of them can make an engine live and run at a 18.00-1 compression.
I persoannly know the guy over the cylinder head development for Hendricks Racing. They build both restrictor plate engines and non- restrictor engines depending on the racing. Even a restrictor plate engine is seldom over 16.00 -1 static compression. Not any NHRA Pro Stock engine builders I know and I know 2 of them who are considered to be among the best, would even attempt to build any engine over 17.00-1 and that is using the VP c-25 125 octane gas. Actually I doubt if any of them are now even 17.00 -1 becuase they discovered no additional power above 16.85 -1 .
I guess that metric junk is just more efforts to kill the JE company like they have been doing since they bought it. Je PPiston company was bought by a huge elevator company to use as a shelter. o'boy.
Still you have never shared with us what the cc of the top of the piston is. I can guess at gasket cc. I can come close to guessing at Chamber cc if I know the head. Piston dome or piston dish cc cam be anything.
What are the cc of the piston? I hope it is a negative number.
Without Piston CC all other talk is useless.
By the way. Whatever it is; That engine in your car in the vid sounds awsum and the car is bad to the bone. Looks like that short wheelbase is killing you though.
MY thoughts are that it is probably a 16.00 -1 or a little higher compression ratio engine which is great on an all motor SB 2.2 head engine with appx a 28 deg total ignition timing. If I am right.

ok talked with Alex from je and gave him the job# and the piston dish volume is -13.65 ccs. Gasket thickness is 040. the heads are 44ccs chambers. I asked him about the nos and how much and he thought 150 - 200 would be no problem. I remember when these pistons were getting made and had been sent to callies for the complete rotating kit, je engineers called callies and had them send the pistons back to them to redo them because they didnt think they were strong enough for the power and compression or made correctly for what we had going on. It took je over 2 months to get them made and to callies to complete the rotating assembly again.
Your right the short wheelbase is killing, we are extending the frame
26"s to keep the front end down and make it more stable hopefully(If you noticed that video you watched I end up rolling over about half track). This is why I want to put nos on it it now because the extending of the frame bumps us up in a buggie nos class and I want to be competative.
And yes we are at 26-28* for timing and at 5000-6000 i use the retarder to back it off 4*S
Going to post a couple pics of the frame getting extended. After we get that done will put a diamond plate bed on it.
Ok now I think I have narrowed it down to 3 kits here.
1- edelbrock performer nitrous system #70001
2- sniper nos kit #07001
3-zex nitrous perimeter plate system. 249-82048
which one would be the best one or would like to hear other nos kits that
might be better.
Thanks,
Anthony
