    my52merc,

    Many compression ratios would work for this system, but ideally you should have between 10 to 10 1/2.

    i got to agree with tech on this, ive all ways built the motor, and set the carbs. accordingly. never built a motor to suite the carb. looks like that would put a lot of restrictions on the motor.
