How much compression can you run on pump gas? OK, title says it all really. Was thinking of going with cncd 5.3 heads milled to get 11 to 1. I see others running a little bit more and was wondering how high you can go without having to run better fuel?
The answer also depends on the dynamic compression ratio which is a function of what cam is used.

Fair enough with the dcr being more important. So when deciding with the overall setup, I will have to consider that aspect of the can just as much as the rpm range I would like to peak at.
I just see that the cars that seem to be a little freakish on the power for the combination, generally are taking advantage of higher comp.
