Re: compression ratio

An internet search for "compression ratio calculator" will reveal all.

Re: compression ratio

I have 11:1 TRW pistons with 76cc chambers, according to combos other guys run, if i went to 64cc, my CR would jump from 9.4:1 to close to 11:1.

But use the calculator, it will help you figure it all out. You need to know a bunch of stuff, like gasket thickness as well.
