highest compression on pump gas
#5
Well here's what's going on. I got a rod knocking so Im about to buy a rotating assembly and make it a 383 so that's why I'm wondering so what do you guys think is safe I will be getting forged everything lol

play it safe go with 11-11.5....that extra .5 compressions goona do what, 10-15hp?

I'm at 11:5:1 on 91 octane. It's all in the tune man. To get that kind of power, you better be planning a serious upgrade in cubic inches. 500whp has been done with stock cube's, but it is expensive. Check out Pat G's 500whp recipe. Great thread with killer info. Good luck!

Isolde is right. Even if you cam your 12:1 engine to run 91 octane at sea level, then that same car should be bumped to 13:1 if you move up in the high mountains. Ya gotta squeeze thinner air even more to get the same cranking compression.

You need to know you intake closing angle and you can use a dynamic compression calculator like Wallace racing calculators.
I'm running 12.56:1 compression and full timing on 92/93 octane pump gas because with an intake valve closing angle of 85 degrees abdc it gives me 8.25:1 dynamic compression with my 255/266 cam

Wow there is allot to think about. I live about 2 hours away from tuned by frost so I will probably end up going there for a tune. So dynamic compression depends on your cam and what makes static compression?
#17
Static compression is just your total volume difference of the cylinder and chamber at bottom dead center and top dead center. But dynamic compression adds the cam into the equation....you can't start building pressure til both intake and exhaust valves are closed

It's all starting to make since now. Maybe Il just buy dynomation 5 and build my engine on the computer before I buy all the parts. I could still buy my rotating assembly because I could just change the cc on the heads if needed to raise or lower compression. So maybe Il do that. Anyone else have experience with dynomation 5?
