NOSS Head Dome sizing?

you could go 19's or even 18's, if you have a stock crank dont go hog wild with the compression, true your stock crank or just have the motor ported and built, the hotter your top end is the harder your bottom end will be getting abused by the piston rods......get a compression tester, i think around 160 psi you'll have to run race fuel, im at 180 psi and use 118 octane, and could probally be ok with 108, at 2-3 thousand feet..... david at noss knows his shit and will help you out, he has an elevation graph on his website you can find out on the internet, what the elevation is where you ride, but i think a chat with dave and a compression tester will be you best bet

This might be of some use...

 

 

 

Approximate Cranking Compression

 

These pressures are estimates based on fresh stock bore, piston, porting, and deck height.

 

It is recommended to check your compression after installation.

ok, cool, thanks much guys. Figured out im at 1500ft above sea, so wit a 19cc dome ill be right between 160 and 167psi. Then i could run like a 108 race fuel right? wont be too rough on a stock bottom end ya think? also my stock pistons should hold up id think, but what you guys think?
