Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Re: Looking for input, experience from "bag" guys

Plan on using a pressure switch set to cut out no lower than 145 psi. My experience with BBC (3 454's 69,89sq,92) it needs to have just over 110-120 PSI to "pop" up and slightly higher to "top out". once it's up you can drop to a little lower pressure depending on your preferred ride height and spring rate.

Its my understanding 2600's are 8" just wondering if I would encounter clearance issues.And hoping for somewhere around a 3.5-5 drop or ride height am I going to be in that range?
