That will be right on the edge with iron heads so sneak up on the total timing and don't run it lean!

I'm running aluminum Stealth heads if that makes a difference. Sorry, should have mentioned that.



Static 9.35 with alum heads , it would probably run on diesel ...

I think kerosene is cheaper, maybe I can use that

This seems to be a pretty good calculator: http://www.kb-silvolite.com/calc.php?action=comp

I think to be accurate you'll need more info than your post has.

thanks. I used that one and got the same result. I had read that 8.5:1 is high. I realize that 9.3:1 static is low, but from what I understand, the dynamic number is what really determines if you will have detonation issues or not. I'm still on a learning curve so I'm just trying to gather as much knowledge as possible.



Generally, 8.5 w/al. heads is as high as I would go.

Right or wrong, I shoot for a static CR that gets me around 180 psi cranking and then dial in DCR with duration.
