Calculating my compression ratio?? On my 5.3L heads, I had em milled .010
Dished exhaust valves were used, and the combustion chamber is between 60cc & 61cc's.
So how do I figure my CR?

Re: Calculating my compression ratio?? hey verbs, you thought you have detonation problems before!
do the free ram air and use two 10" pushers to help things in the cooling dept.

If that doesn't work the FTRA is getting sent to the scrap yard.
I think I've cornered my detonation issues. My car had a TSB for bad knock sensors that have been known to give bad readings and cause detonation. I just got those fixed, and will also be keeping the car cooler with cooling fan adjustments.
If that doesn't work I'm just gonna buy a Ford <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
