Yep, still the LoveFab kit.

8.5:1 simply because that's what they offer. Personally I'd love slightly higher (9-9.5:1) but I'm limited for choices.

You'll just have to up the boost with 8.5:1

Fitted my Supertech blockguard today and picked up a decking block from Chris. It's a basically a big slab of aluminium with cylinder holes bored in it. You bolt it to the block when boring it to simulate being bolted to a head.
