EDIT, just saw the other post. Being that it's a Flowtech cam from Ed, you can get the .006 duration from him. Either way what I stated above will get you very close.

Thanks. That was the idea. I just made J-Rod's calculator easier to understand.

Using the compression figures Ed gave you, your .006" duration should be 298* and you .006" IVC should be 77.

Thanks for all your help guys!

So is the general consensus that at

12.3 SCR and 8.75 DCR this car will be a monster with 93 octane?

Theres no methodical way of figuring this out without cam specs at .006". Results from most LS based cams have shown that you need to add 25-27* to you .050 IVC for a very close guesstimate.

Dug, I get 7.8 DCR for yours.

You set up static compression at 12.3 without knowing what the DCR would be?
