We switched to the .116's several years ago, 5/16" diameter.
Our engines all ran fine with .080's, but we did notice some witness marks on them indicating they flex some with these HR set-ups.....Cliff

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
