I'm running the MS3 cam in my 02 WS6...any idea where my compression ratio is?

 

Same as it is stock.

 

Cams don't change static compression.

 

compression ratio has absolutely nothing to do with the valvetrain. A compression ratio is when BDC is compared to TDC. BDC in this case is a value of TDC i.e. x1:1 where 1 is the size of the space at TDC compared to the space at BDC which is denoted by x1 where 1 is the space at TDC and x is the coefficient of how many times bigger the space is at BDC. Valves do not change that. combustion chambers sizes, and stroke control that.

damn college is turning me into a nutcase.

 

what are they stock? I never bothered to look it up.

whoa hold up...you have 2,000 something posts, a ws6 and a 730hp vette...but u didn't know that a cam has no effect on static compression?

 

longer duration cams lower the cold cranking compression but not compression ratio.

 

brain fart (plus I was looking at cranks)...posted it, left the house, then realized I was about to come home to a flame LOL

 

You can change cranking compression/cylinder pressure with camshafts FWIW.
