Tomas I see that you have flat top pistons on your motor, I dont know the CC on your heads or your head gasket thickness. I hope you have a knock meter in your boat to let you know of any detination. I have a dish piston on my blower motor with a .76 thick Cometic gasket and the piston sit 20 in the hole, that gives me plenty of room for boost on pump gas.
Measured the cc on the heads and ended up at close to 120cc, the pistons are .025 below deck, pistons are dished 3cc and .051 (they might be .053) thick gaskets. That should get me pretty much 8.3...
Where did you get that .076 cometic gasket?! They should put me at just below 8 in static comp.
Just got a dual EGT-gauge from Mange, we will mount the senders right at the beginning of the SS tails (right after the elbows).

Hi Albert,

Now your talking Tomas, that is good! I got the gasket custom made from Cometic for $200.00 the set.

Started with getting some medium hard foam with closed cells (doesn't attract water etc). Cut to 12" pieces in the correct thickness (about 1-1/4") and glued them to the bottom. This is for the fuel tank to rest on.

Bolted the tank to the engine bulk head and the one in front of the cockpit with M10 screws and really big washers.
Also put a sheet of foam on top of the tank to stabilize the floor a bit.
