Spend money elsewhere, like cylinder heads and valve train. it will be money well spent.

Reread my post as we have seen from 5.7 to 6.250 a 30 horse gain at 7500 do your own reserch.
We have some engines street and strip with 1.000 compression height and no problems.
The engines you have run with the long rods what have been your problems or are you one that has never tried it and are posting just hear say.
