10:1 on today's pump gas? You betcha...even for us "layman".
Think: QUENCH.
But what yall are missin here is, I'm not including quench in my comments. Quench technology in the aftermarket is still fairly new. I am speaking from just a static compression point of view. Yes, you can do all kinda stuff with fancy quench tops on pistons, but guess what? They are not legal for all classes of racing. You put your 10.5 quench motor in a claimer race and see what happens. "I" get the quench point. I've been doing this a long time. what I am saying is, without modern quench and alloy heads....or both, the old rule of thumb still stands with static compression and pump gas. Ain't no way around it.
