Re: she wanted in......so she got in

Ok so there has been some progress, but nothing outrageous. I drove her truck all weekend (HOLY SMOKES ITS FAST!) cant get it to stop pinging. I am running a stupid amount of compression, because she said she wanted fast. So being the "go way over board" guy that i am. I built her a 434 sbc with pop up pistons and 12:1 compression and a comp cams 280h cam (.480/.480, I/E). I started running 91 octane which is the highest at the pump. They have 100 octane about 15 minutes from home, but there is no use i paying $7/gal just to burn it all on the way home in hopes that it will fix the problem. I am thinking of putting a nice low compression big block in it for her( or maybe get a bigger cam to bleed off compression). Here are a few pics
