    In order to intelligently choose a cam for a motor, you must know the exact static compression ratio of the motor. Please read through this tutorial, which explains why....

    This information was taken from the Crane Cams engineers and simply condensed into the table that you see on the tutorial. Here is the same info in the application section of the Crane Catalog for 260/289/302 Ford motors. You can see that the recommended compression ratio increases as the cam timing gets snottier.
