Default Fuel octane vs dynamic compression ratio

Ok this thread is to see what limits people are pushing with pump gas with what dynamic compression.

87 USA 91 AUS
91 USA 95 AUS
93 USA 98 AUS

So if people could enter what there combination is and what fuel they are running. This will help people in the future decide what they want to build a given engine combination and fuel requirements for that combination.

Copy and paste this as a template for engine specifications for your build.

Engine size

Bore

Stroke

static comp

Cylinder head cc

Rod length

Deck height

HG thickness

inlet close @ .006

Dynamic comp

Fuel octane USA or AUS?
