I wouldn't worry about the compression with the right amount of boost/timing it will be fine. We had a car we built that ended up at 9.6:1 with heads/cams and a 2.8 standard inlet kb. 17lbs of boost/17 degrees of timing, no detonation on 93 and made 730.

Be sure to post up what it makes!
Wow 730! I was hoping to break 600hp on pump gas and I would've been happy with that !

Well, the numbers are just fine for now, eh? A conservative tune due to your high compression and 93 octane fuel. Hopefully down the road you'll be able to go with E85, and more power/torque. I'm anxious to hear how you do at the track.

How much boost? Numbers seem very low to me considering 10:1, fgt cams, tvs and 15 degrees.

Is there any online stores that have 100 octane that you can get a great deal? I'm thinking of buying a 55g barrel
