Wow, you just gave me a massive headache......

$450 is about as good as its gonna get espically sence your wanting something other than the stock compression ratio....and may i ask why your wanting something different than stock, you can put out big numbers on the stock c/r just dont cheap out on tuning, or fuel management

honestly, unless your going for 500+ hp your stock compression wil be fine, just make sure you can tune it properly, and manage your fuel properly, changing the compression ratio will just require you to spend more on tuning because of the differences in compression and fuel requirements to ignite from the stock c/r, 7 or 8 years ago lower compression might have been necesary for a KA-T, but the tuning methods and technology that is availabe now for management is not really nesessary unless you want rediculous amounts of power

lol that reminded me of http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aIeMJ-UVccoAnyway I don't think it would be needed, if you're rebuilding then just some cleanup and new rings should be fine.
