Thanks for the link, some interesting reading.
Charlie, it's a naturally aspirated SBC not a blown combo like Steves.
I've spoken to a few knowlegable builders recently ,who confirmed the desirability of the 17to1 ratio,even with alcohol. as fuel ...their reasoning follows some of the statements on the turbofast site, treat the engine the same as it was a gasoline fired Comp engine.
So it will be going back together with the higher comp ratio.

Thanks to all for your thoughts on this, This is my first Comp Eliminator engine build in nearly 30 years and even tho I keep my eyes and ears open in the pits, there is a mountain of learning to do on this combo.
