probably in the 8.5-8.7 area. I am running 10.5:1 dual cam pistons in my single cam and it's about 11:1 Putting stock dual cam pistons in a sohc = aproximately 10.3:1

With sohc pistons? Probably around 9.1 ? Somewhere in the lower 9's, that would be my guess

lets get this straight.

ngc= 9.3:1

base= 9.8:1 i think

rt/acr= 9.8:1

dual cam 9.8:1

dual cam PISTONS with single head= 10.3ish

ngc with dual head= 8.8ish

base with STOCK dual=9.3ish

single with FORGED 10.5:1 = 11:1ish

single with 8.8:1 FORGED pistons= 9.2ish

So does that mean we can't come up with a swap list?

Probably shouldn't listen to anything your penis says, that guy's a dick.
Patience, of course, is a very powerful weapon, but sometimes I start to regret that it is not a firearm.
Too much time spent here is a sign of a bad case of Ownaneonvirus.

Unless you have a Magnum head. They will outflow a DOHC with less rotating mass.
If I could just figure out how to meld the Outback and the Neon into one car...

I've been meaning to tell you. Your Charger doesn't have an ATX (Automatic TransaXle).

Sorry for the OT, just been bugging me.
