Is this too much compression for 93 octane? Dart 205's milled to 59CC,.040 Cometics,stock 346 shortblock = over 12.1CR?
Would u leave the heads alone and just run the 62CC with the .040 Cometics for 11.3CR?
Even with a small cam would the LSX intake help me?
Cam is 214-222-566-569 115+4...
Running threw shorties and HF cats (Thats why the big split)

I think you definitely do not want to go 12:1 SCR and check your DCR - it's going to create more problems than you want with 93 octane.
I would say the LSX intake will be marginal but the head and port velocity/runner length guys will need to chime in.

I get 11.32:1 SCR for 62cc heads and .040 gaskets
And to the question of which one to use, it depends on the camshaft specs and what DCR you end up with.

Yeah, what he said. I don't get 12.0:1. It's lower...closer to 11.7ish:1. Remember when calculating DCR that even XE-R lobes rarely get close to a 49 degree ramp rate. They're more like 50 or 51. This will make actual measured DCR lower than the "calculated" DCR.
