How To Figure Compression Ratio

Run a compression test and record the numbers. Post them here along with the specific camshaft specs and we cen make an educated guess as to what the static compression is. Static compression ratio really by itself does not affect what octane fuel an engine runs on. Cylinder pressure, cylinder head material and combustion chamber shape all have much more of an effect, so when we get those numbers, we can give better answers.
