Ok here is a situation, I am building a 1914 and have been told to keep the compression ratio between 7:1 and 7.5:1 because I want to keep it fairly reliable but still take advantage of the power. The reason I am posting on here is I would like to find out what some of you think of running the motor at this compression ratio and if you have a suggestion of what to run it at. If it will help here is a list of the parts I am using, Scat 69mm crank, Empi rods, 94mm pistons, Engle VZ-14 cam with 420lift and 242 duration, stock 1:1 rockers, 044 heads. For ease in tuning we are only running one 44 Empi brosol carb kit, in the future we may upgrade to dual carbs. Everything has been balanced aswell.
Hopefully knowing what all is going into the motor helps out with the advice. A friend (Fred from calgary) advised me to post on here and ask becuase some of you are quite well experienced with all this motor stuff. Thank you in advance for all the help.
