Post subject:  best guess part 3 help me pick a compression ratio

Thanks, now that I know my c.r. is 7.85 to 1, and it's too low, what c.r. should I try for? This is a 1975 30 over 225 that is going in a pickup truck for highway use. I have the M.P. cam P4120243, we have it degreed in at 106. The engine is stock, just a good rebuild with good parts, port matched 2bbl intake and 2 1/4 single exhaust, we also took the fuzz off the combustion chamber. The cam card said 102 but was advised to go to 106? I want to burn the cheap stuff also. Please help as I need direction.

If the truck is not expected to run hot, then I'd shoot for 9.0 CR for regular pump gas.

Thanks Lou: The truck does carry a camper shell and the whole package weighs in just under 6000# Anyone else want to take a shot at this?
