You should be fine as long as you get it tuned. A thinner head gasket might be the cheapest solution. Anthing over 11.5 on 91 is kinda risky.

Tune it. That will get you more gains than bumping up your compression by a few tenths.

Its like that dude who was trying to put his cable tranny in his 99 si when he had a hydro tranny in his other car. The obvious answer didnt come immediately to mind. __________________

Tune it. That will get you more gains than bumping up your compression by a few tenths. [/b][/quote] Best advice. I'd invest in some sort of stand alone system. I'm finishing my 11.5:1 ls, and wouldn't dream of driving without a good tune. A wideband, a tablet pc, turboedit, an ostrich, a socketed pm6 and a dyno will be my car's best friends in about 2 weeks. Try tuning it and running a little more ignition advance; you'll get the power you are looking for, but look out for the smog demons. __________________
