removing material from pistons would lower the compression ratio...

skimming the block would bump it up

Not if you take material off the top to make the dish in the piston smaller.
All machining was done by me using a lathe and milling machine.

stock injectors are fine, if you put 3s ones in that have black tops they are 440cc... they would need ballists and ecu to work anywhere near "right"
I only peek the std injectors slipping over 9000rpm not were your stock engine is nor what your std mapping will handle

If you know what resistor to bridge behind your tacho you can make it run on the mitsi low level output on the ignitor....

if you get a 4wire universal you might have to weld a threaded nut in to fit it, Some come with a flange so you can just bolt it on but that flange is normally a lot more $$

if you cant get it on put it around the crank pulley then half way over the p/s pulley and cable tie it to the pulley then wind it over, Cable tie stops the belt trying to pull off easy.

Have found that exceeding 9500rpm causes ribs to brake off the belt's :evil:
