Ideal DCR / SCR for centrifugal setup
It seems there are many recent threads with higher static compression setups, getting some impressive numbers.
Here are some details aiming for:
-Pump fuel w/meth injection
- LS6 - 347 forged setup
- Brute Speed Blower cam
- LS6 heads
- Most psi the D1sc can throw at it
- Huge intercooler
- Street use only
So i enter the information for Diamond 11503 pistons for example and get a static Compression ratio of 9.747 and a dynamic CR of 8.569:1
3.905 bore
64.45 cc chamber heads
0.051 head gasket
-0.007 piston to deck
0.044 quench
is this dynamic compression tolerable?
I mean, having 10+:1 static Compression ratio, with their cam choice, could still only yield them a 8.5:1 Dynamic compression, no?
Or is this LOW?
It seems like higher compression is the way to go?
What is the Ideal DCR?
Thank you everyone for your input
I have calculated that the Piston to Deck clearance is 0.006", not 0.007" out of the hole.
Giving a Static compression of 9.662 and
DCR of 8.496 using a 0.051 Gasket
DCR 8.683 using a 0.041 MLS gasket
SCR 9.879 using 0.051 MLS

If you want to spin that d1 to its maximum potential I would keep the compression under 10:1. Your proposed build sounds perfect to me and with your choices I don't see why you won't make 800+rwhp!
Though this is put through a T-56 and soon to be 9" rear, I was thinking it would only get into the low 700's.
I guess Im not going to worry too much about Dynamic CR, unless someone else chimes in to say this build will not work otherwise...

I went with what SCR Bob/Speed Inc both recommended as they've never steered me wrong before. I have little clue about the dynamic. It raises a good question for sure. I would also be surprised if you hit 800rwhp. I am thinking more along the lines of low to mid 700's with those heads and cubes even with the filter off.
