with my cam , stock bottom end and pistons, stock gaskets, and stock ls1 heads i got a DCR of 7.58

i know that ideal is supposed to be 7.5-8.5, but how much better would say a 8.3 perform than my 7.58. should i be concerned or is the 7.58 good.

opinions?

I'm looking at 8.13 for my 402. I remember reading (In the CAM Sticky) that 8.25 was a safe upper limit for the street. It was a posting by J-Rod.

I see a lot of numbers that are higher, with happy owners, but I'm gonna keep it in the low 8's. Who knows what king of crappy gas will be available in a year or so.

are yall using the DCR calculator? Iv downloaded it but for cam timing it asks for advertised duration and futral only lists duration at .050 lift not advertised and they dont state intake center line.

^ find someone who has the cam you want, it should be on their cam card
