"... keep the CR around 10.25 (with alum heads)?

...would I also need to think about getting frame connectors if I put that much torque into my '70 Trans Am?"


IIRC, most here say 10.5 CR is OK, with alum heads. Obviously, 10.25 would give a bit more margin of safety. But, there are always guys who like to stretch the limit & run lot's more. They say they watch the tune real close, & have never had any problems. Others are more conservative & play it safe. The choice is yours.

Connectors couldn't hurt anything, IMO.
