so here is my problem
i'm rebuilding my 305tpi...but i'm strongly considering putting in
hypereutectic .020 domed pistons...does anybody have any idea
how much this will raise my ratio? and what octane gas i might
have to use?

A .020" dome will only raise you by .4 at most, so you can use pretty much any gas you like.

The factory 9.5:1 ratio is very optimistic. You'll be lucky to be at 9.5 with the domed pistons.
