SmithvilleD, what I was meaning to say was I haven't seen any numbers, like say from a dyno, you know... that thing that every 6.5er seems to be afraid of
I can see how lowering the compression ratio reduces peak cylinder pressures, but when you pack in more air to make up for it, isn't that kind of counterproductive because you will be once again raising the peak cylinder pressures?
.
I looked up the build sheet and it looks like the compression was gained by using .005 shorter rods and .010 shorter pistons. It looks like we didn't have to use the thicker head gaskets.
Diesel Depot obtains their various compression ratios by a combination of deck height, piston height, rod length and gasket thickness.
I opted to go with 20:1 in my rebuild. This is what was done to obtain it with mine.

Chevyinlinesix, I have no fear of putting my truck on the dyno and fully plan to. The problem is I keep having bills come up for $4-500 that are more important than spending the money for the dyno.
I'm sure you are aware that changing connecting rod length has no affect on compression ratio.
