Just wondering where some of you guys set your compression i run a 2276 good set of 041 heads all good parts my poor motor gets the shit beat of it but freshened up every season just looking to get the best power and reliable motor for my money any thoughts

I’m on 11 to 1 and it cost allot to run but happy so far. When I build a new motor it will be set up for pump gas. Costs less and easier to find

Im planning for about 11 to 1 or more myself since Im gonna run race gas. Ive been wondering how well the Holley fuel pump & Webbers handle Ethanol since its 105 octane.

11to1 and you need to up grade those heads to 044 just my 2 cents

I set mine at 8 to 1 for pump gas but I am easy on my equipment and trail ride mostly which is a kind way of saying I'm "skeert" !

i run 11.3 in my 2276 i ran 110 or turn my timing back a little and could run just 93
theres guys out there that r scared to run high compression and guys that arent i know guys that run 93 with 10 to 1

It all depends on what fuel you want to run. If you want a pump gas engine, you should set your CR below 10. 9.5 is a good number for 93 octane.
If you want to run mixed gas or full race gas, you can go from 11-1 to 13-1 depending on what camshaft you choose.
Higher compression equals much higher horsepower but comes with a price of more maintenance.

More compression means more power. But is bad on the bearings and stuff.
