Yes, it's around 12:1. I use a 50/50 mix of 93 octane unleaded and 110 octane Cam2 generally. I realise that it would ultimately harm the engine because there is inaudible detonation. But I was totally surprised that it hardly pinged at all with mostly a straight 93 octane in it. I'd say it was 80% 93 and 20% 110 when I was coming home from the cruise. For the heck of it I added even more 93 when I got home and it still barely pinged. I did end up hearing though and went back to a 50/50 mix.
Jim Butler helped me pick my cam for my combo. The other thing that changed with my newest combo is the heads were street/strip ported for the new cam. Probably lost a few CC's there too. They were basically untouched with the Ultradyne setup. I just cleaned them a little by removing casting high spots.
