Static compression is only part of the question, dynamic compression also needs to be considered.

With a donkey dick cam like that you could run 12:1 static and still be ok. Of course you would want a conservative timning curve in the tune.

Jmo of course. Talk to lloyd about it, he will steer you right.

Sounds almost exactly like my cam, 236/242 .612/.612 110+4. Gonna run them on a 383 with SRP pistons, Dragonslayer Cam, Lunati Rods and TFS 195cc heads that have been ported and flow 330 at .600 lift. Should make good power. LOL
