Default RE: cam installation help

I did not have heads yet at the time when he was telling me this. basically he put it like this, dish ur looking at 9.5 to 1, flat 11.5 to 1, and 13.5 to 1 with dome pistons. Not sure how accurate this is im just going by what he told me. obviously these are also approximations because I did not have heads at the time. as far as the CCs of the heads I bought they are 61cc if i remember correctly.

not with 61 cc heads..your machinest is full of it!!! my 306 with 58cc heads and .200 dome pistons came it at exactly 11 to 1 and I ran 93 octane no problem..and my 347 with flat tops and 58cc heads will be at about 10.5 to 1 so he's wrong....if it'll be a 302/306 with flat tops and 61 cc heads my guess is it'll be around 9.8 to 1..perfectly safe for pump gas
