Some questions for an N/A 12.5:1 compression piston setup. Would this be safe on pump gas? Would running stock VE rods be a good idea? If not, what rods would be a good match? What about head bolts/studs?
Yang,

And there was someone who posted that he had 13.5:1 pistons in a ve on pump gas. I believe he was from overseas but not sure. But I'm sure with tuning, your going to be totally fine on pump gas with 12.5:1. Or you could do E85.
I'll try to call you tomorrow.
