Hey my street rod ran 13.9's with badly damaged valve guides.

The new 358 should hit high 12's or early 13's. That is based on Don Garlits time with his 358 and similar cams. I am running better heads. But he ran a better carb. Don always knew how to tune a carb better than me.

Talk to J&E pistons. They will custom build whatever you want. You can go zero deck, just go with a very thick gasket. I like Ross and Probe pistonstoo, but J&E is really a top notch company in my dealings. They are superb.
