What are your DCR and SCR compression ratios?

AFR 205's milled 0.030 to a 61cc chamber. I gained 43rwhp & 33rwtq with AFR 205's.

Partial throttle response and low end torque are amazingly great. This is a great street combo. Car is at 423rwhp & 403rwtq. I was 380/370 TR224 only.

Stock GM gaskets so compression is 11.0:1 I could have gone with cometics 0.040 gasket and gained some compression & rwhp/rwtq.

Is your Tr224 the 112 or 114 version?

Can't remember exactly. PREDATOR-Z did my calcs on it for me & I just told Bo how much to mill the heads to keep me safe on pump gas. I believe my compression is at about 10.9:1

I believe I was told milling .030 & using the .040 gaskets would put me in detonation land on pump gas. I could be wrong though cause it's been a while since PREDATOR-Z did my calcs.

Correct. A person needs to be able to filter out the 90% bullshit on here.

62 CC heads would equal 11.33 Scr and 8.87 DCR
63 CC heads would equal 11.18 Scr and 8.76 DCR

Normal ranges are 8.4-8.5 on 91 octane gas, and 8.7-8.8 on 93.

My choice would be 63cc to be on the safe side.

Again these are using my specific TR224 112 cam card numbers. Your results my differ.
