Compression Question
Hello all,
Got a question about achieving a certain compression ratio. Here's my set-up:
SE Flat Top Pistons and 95" bore
Street Port by Big Boyz (planned)
Converting to the hydrolic/roller chain set-up with SE billet cam plate/oil pump
Woods TW 6-6R cams with 4 degree advance
Cometic .03 gaskets
When I go to the Big Boyz web site to use their compression calculator and punch in the values (plus 600 feet above sea level) I come out with 9.8 to 9.9 compression and cold crank compression of about 188. Talking with Bob Woods, he indicated that his TW 6 cam likes 10:1 to 10.5:1 compression. Assuming my heads are spec 85 cc, that would mean milling heads down to 79 cc, which will likely cause fitment issues. With this set-up, is there any other way to bump compression just another tenth or so, or am I being too annal about this? Thanks for any and all input.

but I would talk to a reputable builder first. Scott at Hillside or Steve at GMR are two that come to mind.
