cylinder pressure and dynamic compression with different camshafts`

elitesrock2 said
building a solid roller 416 stroker motor and i was wondering about cylinder pressure and dynamic compression and what i should shoot for. wanna run it on 92 octane pump gas. is a 416 with heavily ported iron x heads. looking at the horsepressure article on hughes they shoot for a 165 cylinder pressure with iron heads which put me at 10.5:1 compression and 8.17 dynamic. so is this what i should be looking for or what compression should i play with. inputs are 8 cylinders, 4.070 bore, 4 inch stroke, 6.123 rod length, 10.5:1,63 degrees abdc and 1800 altitude

Let's start over.
First decide at what rpm you want the power to be and the width of your powerband requirement.Your vehicle weight,gears and TC will all need to be taken into consideration before making these decisions.
From that you can select a cam. From that you get the ICA. From that you target the Dcr. Once the Dcr is targeted, you can adjust the Scr to get that Dcr. Then you find out if it's possible to do what you want to do. If it isn't, then you have learned what won't work, and start over.
