Mark, there is a post from maybe 10 days ago posting a link to a Dynamic compression program. AAFind that thing and download it. It will tell you about how a cam will react to different static ratios. Its premise is that you need dynamic compression of at least 7.5 to 1 I believe and it will tell you what static you need with that cam to get it. Very educational. I guess just search for dynamic compression calculator, if you can't find it then I can find it for you on another site. I have been toying with it alot myself. I think I am just going to change pistons as I should be able to run alot more compression than I originally thought with my cam, especially since I broke the bank and bought some heads. Between the dynamic compression calculator and the static calculator on Ross pistons site you can really play with different combinations. Bill
