Whoa whoa whoa, 10.0 DCR? That is wayyyy to much for pump gas.

SCR of 11.7 and DCR in the high 8s should be ok with a good tune. More than that you're really pushing the limits of pump gas, unless you mean E85 pump gas.

that static compression is fine, all you need to do to lower your DCR for the same SCR is advance your cam. but if you're at 8.4 as Grr calc'd out, you should be fine.
