Hey Nick, I went with blue because I wanted to do something a little different. I have always like the Ford Blue blocks like the 302 and 429 BB In 69' and 70'. So I decided that on a gun metal car, hints of blue here and there wouldn't look too bad.

As for my compression ratio its around 10:1 right now. The way I had everything set up (machine shop wise) is if I wanted to run boost all I have to do is throw in a thicker head gasket. It already has low compression pistons ;) Its interesting the way I did it. In the mean time, if I decide to run the nitrous in a few months its gonna feed off the high compression already ;) So I guess with a little more wrench time its a win win situation :lol:
