i think it will be around 12:5 scr or so. your dcr will be very high with that cam,if i did it right i came up with over 9.xx.

Enter your info here this should help.

Also a silly question but why run 12.5-1 since you have to run race gas? Why not run 14 or 15-1 since you'll have to use race gas anyways and you'll make a good gain in power?

I always use this one: http://www.csgnetwork.com/compcalc.html

Enter values as follows:
1
4.03
4
4.065
.052
61
-2
.007

I calculate 12.070993377121803:1

I always have problems calculating DCR, but I don't think that cam can bleed off enough compression to operate on 93oct.
