Calculating DCR? Can someone help me out calculating my dynamic compression ratio. Not sure if im getting the right numbers.
bore: 4.005
stroke: 4.00
heads cc: 65
gaskets: .051"
deck clearance: I believe .0005?
Gasket bore: 4.100
dish pistons: -3cc wesico
when i type my cam specs on MGI cam calculator its giving me a IVC of 50*
@ 660ft elevation
= 11:43:1 Static compression
= 9.95.1 Dynamic compression???
seems a little high to me. Ca. Anyone with knowledge in this stuff help me out.

What are your cam specs @0.005 lift (advertised)? I have my own calculator I can run. I just need intake and exhaust duration, and LSA with any advance or retard on the ICL.
FWIW I get 11.31:1 static with your combo

I think you also need rod length for most calculators. The calculator I use needs the rod length too.

the difference in a 6.125" rod or a 6" rod will be minor, but yes it is usually included in dynamic compression.
Lolzzz. I’ve had a few typos lately. You guys know what I mean, not what I say??? I’ve got 3 engine builds going, 2 complete vehicles to totally restore, and I operate 2 businesses. I’m going to Ecuador here in 2 weeks for a much needed vacation. I hate excuses, but that’s all I got…..😜

Use the old wallace racing calculator it matches up to what my old spreadsheet always did. Now many people say it doesn't matter, but my old cam combos did really well back in the day.

my rods are 6.125"
so I think im getting 11:3:1 Static and 8.08.1 Dynamic ?
so I dont have the advertised durations. Just the @.050 which is what i posted. But I did use the Wallace cam timing calculation. Got 50* for my ivc @.050. Had to do some digging but found someone on the forum that said Cammotion adds 27.5 to the .050 ivc to equal the .006. So that would give me 77.5*
