that kit is going to put you into 10:1+ with Vortecs - the 12cc difference in chamber size is about 1.1 CR. you can't just use thicker head gaskets to drop the CR...

it looks like they're expecting you to resize the rods, so it's based on the stock rods. the resize will cost about what a set of new SCAT 5.7 rods would cost. Note that all the sizes are standard, too...which they won't be on your build. Just make sure you don't order anything until the machine shop is done with their work. It's also got an HV pump...which I would never use or recommend. Not trying to be a dick...just not a kit I would choose.

no problems with a strong ramp with the right cam lube, break-in and oil...
