would the lower CR have on the Laskey motor have that much of an effect on it?
Was it 9:1 or 9.5:1?

yes thats WHP

When i ordered it from Mike Laskey he said it was 9.1

Hopefully its just a glitch

i do recall though in a conversation a few months back that the stock would prob produce more power but the built block will take more boost


i could be wrong
