Compression Ratio Octane Chart
Compression Ratio Octane Chart - Hello chuck, the cam timing versus static compression ratio chart was taken from information provided by crane cams engineers. I recently measured an engine i'm rebuilding to have 0.027 deck height. I've found the idle quality is better with 89 vs 87 (maybe just a figment of my imagination). But look out for the fuel! It makes a big difference in calculated static compression. Exhaust valve lift with factory rocker arm ratio 0.524 lobe separation (degrees) 110 i don't want to buy 93 octane gas to cruis around town, so my question is, how high of a compression ratio can i run on 89 octane gas? These guys also say that for running pump gas, cranking pressure should not exceed 165, although i have witnessed fellows using 200+ with everything matched up well and the chamber and piston cleaned up to prevent hot.
I'm building a 385 similar to skunk's (72cc heads). Hello chuck, the cam timing versus static compression ratio chart was taken from information provided by crane cams engineers. Exhaust valve lift with factory rocker arm ratio 0.524 lobe separation (degrees) 110 i don't want to buy 93 octane gas to cruis around town, so my question is, how high of a compression ratio can i run on 89 octane gas? There are many other factors involved.
I installed afr 190cc aluminum heads with 68cc chambers and straight plugs. I've found the idle quality is better with 89 vs 87 (maybe just a figment of my imagination). And it aint got no turbo. These guys also say that for running pump gas, cranking pressure should not exceed 165, although i have witnessed fellows using 200+ with everything matched up well and the chamber and piston cleaned up to prevent hot. The cam i installed is comp cam 280h magnum. I run 89 octane (usually marathon), have initial timing at 14, running a vacuum advance off of the manifold, and 36 degrees all in at 2500 rpm.
I have a 532 bbf in my mach 1 with 12.5:1 and i run 92 octane ive never had a issue and i spin her to 7k. With a blown motor you are shooting for the same compression as a na motor but with lower compression you have more volume at tdc that the blower can force extra af into to bring the compression back up more af= more power. I currently own an engine with a cr of 9:1 and it requires 100 octane or greater. I am running a new gm 350 engine. I'm building a 385 similar to skunk's (72cc heads).
I recently measured an engine i'm rebuilding to have 0.027 deck height. I have 75cc combustion chambers, (they have. There are many other factors involved.

Cr and induction pressure, alone does not determine the need for higher or lower octane.
With A Blown Motor You Are Shooting For The Same Compression As A Na Motor But With Lower Compression You Have More Volume At Tdc That The Blower Can Force Extra Af Into To Bring The Compression Back Up More Af= More Power.
Also, how high will my compression ratio be with said cam and flat top pistons installed in my motor rated at 8.5:1 cr stock? Typically if you run aluminum heads you can set your engine up to say 12:1, but since you have the aluminum heads you dissapate heat faster so you can get away with using a lower octane fuel and still get the higher compression.

But Look Out For The Fuel!
When looking in the magazines and on the net you get a lot of variances on the listed compression ratios. I have 75cc combustion chambers, (they have. I installed afr 190cc aluminum heads with 68cc chambers and straight plugs. I am running a new gm 350 engine.

It makes a big difference in calculated static compression. I had it cut down to 0.002. I have a 532 bbf in my mach 1 with 12.5:1 and i run 92 octane ive never had a issue and i spin her to 7k. There are many other factors involved.
With a blown motor you are shooting for the same compression as a na motor but with lower compression you have more volume at tdc that the blower can force extra af into to bring the compression back up more af= more power. Today's pump gas is too volatile and cannot tolerate high compression ratio (above 10.5:1) and high cylinder pressure (above approximately 165 psi) without risking detonation.
