11:1 or 12.5?

[Stroker81]

Which one of these you guys think would be good for my 440 11.1 again or the 12.5 with the new rebuild. I do have head studs and the crf timing chain i no that dont have nothing to do with it. Thanks

if you can get 110 easy then 12.5 for sure, if not 11:1 will be the choice. lol i wish i had a 110 place in town, the closest is 20 miles for me so it is a bit far to get gas all the time. lol steve

Steve if it’s 20 miles to get race fuel that’s still only $12.00 round trip if you get 10 mpg. And they also sell these things called gas cans that you can put fuel in and it works real well. You can get them at many retailers like Lowe’s, Home Depot, hardware stores as well as many others. http://www.smilieshq.com/smilies/evilgrin0041.gif (http://www.smilieshq.com)

I know :devil: i gotta keep myself from tearing it apart though... it would cost me way too much to switch or i would have it already. i already tried to find a 55 to take over and fill up to have some on hand. lol steve :devil:

Well I was (joking) thinking more in the line of 3-4 5 gallon cans. lol

[honda400ex2003]

im not going to fall.. im not going to give in... im not gonna... man i gotta look on ebay for some studs and another piston. dang it slightly, i thought i was past this point for the summer. hehe

to the op def 12.5 if you can run it. it would be well worth it. imo steve

I suppose it all depends on how much riding you do, us old guys don’t last that long so we don’t use that much.http://www.smilieshq.com/smilies/char1/character0032.gif (http://www.smilieshq.com)

110 is not a issue I got a place that i can get it for 5.30 a gallon. Fill 55 gallon barrel at a time lasts me for awhile. Looks like 12.5:1 I will post and let ya know how it runs when its done.
