In the link above the comp was 8.25 and the reason for that is to protect myself and the customer, he was pulling 20,000 plus pounds. I wouldn't want a 1.900 seat put in a production BBC head I was towing with because I wouldn't want to get that thin in that area, thats why I use a 1.720 valve. If you would read the link, you will see power was 550 HP with 600 TQ. No need to apologize about the car, its no problem for me.
