Compression ratio questions

Is there a web site that lists different heads with different pistons so you can figure out compression ratio? Is higher compression always better? What are the limits for the different grades of fuel? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Now, your probably going to want a page that has head chamber sizes. There is one around but i can't find it now.
