Default Dynamic Vs Static comp..

Since i`ll be running a fairly high comp on my engine (11:1) i was told that thats the "Static comp" and with a healty cam you`ll bleed off some comp(Dynamic comp?).How do i figure out what the "real" comp is? :cheers:

I believe you would disconect your ignition, install a compression test gauge and crank it.

You have mail. I'm sending you the program. You need to know the seat to seat duration numbers off of your cam card.

DCR is dependant on cam events (effective swept volume from TDC to where intake valve closes) The DCR is a fixed number, the cylinder pressure is dependant on rpm, intake & exhaust efficiency, temperature, athmospheric pressure.. yadda yadda.... The thing to watch with high static compression is that you don't get a cam that is so short it will give high cranking pressure at low rpm, you'll need a crank retard box for it then. To bleed off at low rpm you need a longer cam, that has more pumping loss.

I don't like compCams or their web site. I find it difficult to get the cam card on your 288 roller cam

I see that they now claim one day custom ground cams. I would like them to tell me why mine took 42 days and I got charged for 3 cams. They claim to sell things that they don't really have.

is that for dynamic compression? That indeed doesn't sound right, it should be somewhere between 75, and 8,5 for a street engine and about as hgh as 9 for a race engine. For it to be around 9 w/ a generic 290 cam you'd need a static compression of about 12:1
