[T3] Semi Hemi cutting FI heads

[WVTOH@aol.com]

Hey guys, does anyone have any firsthand info regarding the use of semi-hemi 
cut heads on a fuel injected engine? I know the "Book of Berg" says it's a 
no-no, and after talking to Clyde yesterday they don't seem to have changed 
that stance. I'm rebuilding my square's engine and there are so few options 
regarding new heads out there. I found a pretty nice pair for a reasonable 
price and the shop I bought them from doesn't recall ever having problem with 
the combo of FI and Semi-Hemi. 
  My next question is about compression ratio. If  I do try to run those 
heads, what kind of CR should I run? From what I hear, the FI will help the 
engine tolerate and extra few points, but what would work best? I usually run 
6.9 or less on my type I's but the FI is a new twist. Right now I've got .040 
deck and 54cc chambers which works out to 7.6:1. 
Is that too high to be able to run on regular unleaded ?  I would rather 
invest a little $$ on shims or spacers than have no fuel options. Thanks for 
any input you may have.....
