The rest of the site is a decades-old irrelevant mess, but the dynamic compression ratio calculator is still valid and useful. It's remarkable to see how a different cam results in completely different actual compression ratio, which is what really matters when it comes to octane. This is why some people can get away with running 91 octane with 10:1 static compression and iron heads, while others will be pinging with 9.25:1 under the same circumstances.
So my static is 10.6, Dynamic via calculator is 6.3. What is that telling me?
