mopar1rules Posted February 18, 2011 Report Posted February 18, 2011 When I cut my stock head .030" and ran moose racing base gaskets (.040" if I remember), I had .050" squish. So, if you have .005" more off the head and the same moose gaskets (which you don't), you would have .045" squish, which is the minimum IMO on pump fuel and 9000 rpm. So, I'm gonna guess that you will have around .040"-.043" squish, cause your base gaskets are thinner, but won't squish down more than like .002" from being torqued, where as the moose gaskets will squish down quite a few thousandths.

Cool thanks for reply....I figured I would be okay just wanted to make sure Quote
J-Madd Posted February 21, 2011 Report Posted February 21, 2011 Due to variances in the casting of the stock head, it's hard to estimate. Definitely check to be sure. Be sure and check compression also. Quote
