Re: 76cc sbc head

You're nowhere near the limit of compression for 93 pump fuel with alum AFR heads. I'm running 8.4:1 dynamic compression with IRON heads on 91 octane......runs like a striped ape with zero detonation. Compression builds torque, run as much as you can get away with. If your SCR/DCR numbers above are accurate, I'd zero deck the block and run a .039 gasket....tighter quench for increased detonation resistance and bump the DCR up a little. I've run as high as 8.85:1 DCR on 93 before with no problems......
