So I put the ADA on. With my OEM head I was running at 150 psi according to my instrument. With the ADA I get the same!? I did torque it according to ADA's specs, with a calibrated wrench. Even compression, runs well on the hose, no sputter. Plugs looks OK. What gives?

on a yamaha i presume?

i had to run 35cc domes to get 185psi out of my ADA head... 701cc std bore

Sorry, yes! The 701 RN in my sig...

I run the dry pipe so I was reluctant to go to 35cc. I'll try it out at the lake tomorrow, I think.

I was at 153psi on 37cc domes bone stock '06 motor with nice crosshatch on the cylinders @ ~900' above sea level. Crappy guage though. ADA's listed compression numbers are at sea level.

One would think 37cc domes would still run higher compression than a stock head. Seems funny, I would have though you'd see at least 160-165 psi with 37cc's.
