Your cam selection has a great deal to do with this, read up on dynamic compression ratio and go from there.

On my 408 I'm running 12.5:1 dcr, but 8.22:1 dcr with my cam (255/263 .624/.624 115lsa) on pump gas with no problems.....full 26 degrees timing and 0 knock spinning to 8,000

From everything I've searched and read 8.5:1 dcr, and about 200psi cylinder pressure is about max for pump gas

Sorry, typo...damn auto correct...12.5 Scr, not dcr.....8.5:1 dynamic is max for pump gas.

When running a bigger cam you need to raise your static compression to keep your dynamic compression up.....the later your intske valve closes the lower your dcr will be.

At or over 8.5:1 sec is where you will hsve to start pulling timing and still might have troyble with knock on pump gas.
