RE: MAKE A STICKY LOOK IN SEE
Yea,,,, I did have a "math issue" I was failing to add the total cumbustion chamber volume to the cylinder displacement prior to dividing. OOPS.
So, I guess I will be running 11 to 1 instead of 10 to 1, hopefully my cam selection and the altitude I am at will help a little.
There are some cool calculators in this section.
Are you running at 13 to 1 CR? If so what are your octane requirements? To be honest I am a little concerned at running 11 to 1, even with my alum heads, my camshaft selection, and my home elevation of about 4,000 feet.
(I would like to hear that you have no problems running pump gas, but .... tell me the truth anyway, I can take it!!!)

Yes, that is my 390HP. I run 91 octane pump gas and have taken out about 6 degrees of timing. It would definitely like more octane, but at 8 mpg, she isn't going to have a diet of racing gas. Only treats.
My 12.5:1 302 runs on 91 octane with about 4 degrees taken out.
I'm around 5k feet.
EDIT:
Forgot to mention a little known tidbit about your local octane rating. 91 octane gas in Denver isn't the same octane as 91 octane in LA. The octane rating uses the elevation of the target area in determining what the octane rating will be. This is part of the reason why your owner's manual says to use87 octane no matter what elevation you are at (at least my '03 GT says that). I'm pretty sure racing fuels aren't rated this way.

Hmm...
So, then gas bought at a higher elevation should be cheaper to produce than gas sold at sea level,,, I don'timagine thatthe high elevation consumer ever sees this benifit...

Hey C/Note,
Here's another great calculatorL http://kb-silvolite.com/calc.php?action=comp
I found this while researching my own compresssion issue.
Thanks for this alternative.
Good luck
