How much is to much?
I'm building a 350 for my Camaro. Right now the block is bored .060 over. I am running 76cc cast iron heads with 2.02" intake valves. I'm trying to figure out what compression to run. The pistons that I have picked out are going to raise the compression to 10.88:1 ratio. I think that is a little much for 87 octane. I was wondering what compression I should go with. I could run higher octane fuels but they cost more per gallon. I don't want to break the bank everytime I go on a drive. I also want to have good power. Maybe I could meet in the middle, go with a higher octane fuel and a slightly lower compression ratio. I don't know what the octane to compression ratio is. Anyones input would be greatly appreciated.Dillhole
