Default how high of dynamic compression can you run on pump fuel?

Just wondering how much dynamic compression can be run on pump gas. Most of the gas stations around where I live are 91-92 octane and I am wondering if I will be okay with that. Here are my engine specs.

Bore 4.03
Stroke 3.75
Rod Length 6.00
Piston volume -18 (SRP said -16 but machine shop checked and -18)
Head Gasket .038"
Deck Height -.010
Cylinder head volume 53cc
Intake closed @ .006" 66 ABDC

Thanks.

Your SCR is 10.628
DCR is 8.413

You'll have no problem with Super unleaded 91-93 octane. You have a very small cam in there, with that 66* ABDC. Mine is 79* ABDC for my stroker...

Oh yeah! I'm assuming this is for an LT1 engine, otherwise I would drop that DCR with a bigger cam or retarding 4*
