Re: will 10.5:1 pistons and cam add around 100hp???

I don't see how going from 9.25:1 to 10.5:1 will add 100hp. For comparison, the 16v NA motors run 10.1:1 and add a whopping 15hp. Add a few thousand rpm to your redline and you might see that 100hp increase. Maybe. But not likely. I mean, if getting 100hp was as easy as adding 1pt of compression, everyone would be doing it...
I suspect with a 7000rpm redline, the 10.5:1 pistons, the right head work, and the rest of your improvements, you could probably see in the area of 50-60 additional ponies. That's just a guess, but I think an educated one.
