With iron heads and pump gas I would shoot for 9.5 to 1 or less compression ratio With aluminum heads I'll settle for 10.5 or less on pump gas with 10 to 15 % Ethanol The 3.90, 3.910 strokers like to rev, in a B or RB motor, the last one I built had a set of B1-BS heads with CNC porting to M.W. sizes, it made 720 HP at 7000 RPM and was still climbing in HP at 7000 the ciustomer siad to stop the pulls at 7000 RPM because he is a bracket racer and wanted to keep the revs. under 7000 RPM Check your cylinder heads CC and go from there I have another stock Mopar 440 crank offset ground to 3.90 stroke for another 440 mild pump gas street build with a set of large valve ported 452 heads, I'm shooting for 9.5 to 1 on it I'm going to use a 7.100 long BB Chevy type rod with Icon # IC-838 pistons, looking for 9.5 to 1 comp. ratio with decent quench
