Not to sure what the other guys are doing to throw the numbers, but it should be 8.7 DCR.

How accurate is this formula? I had an old B1 that measrue 288 degrees of advertised duration. My newer B1 measures 278 degrees. According to the DCR formula this is a huge difference in trapped compression. Is the formula that accurate? My DCR (on paper) went from being fair to being GREAT! With a 62cc chamber and MLS head gasket on a stock motor.
