What are my options for running a compression ratio this high.
I know everyone recommends 9:1 for the street.
My actual math from my engine calculations = 9.78:1

Chevy 396
Bore 4.124
Stroke 3.766
cylinder head volume 118cc
Pistons TRW L2242f30
Dome height .335
dome volume -38.30
deck clearance .025 ???
Gasket thickness .040

I'm planning on running 049 cast iron heads,although the guy I bought them from claims they are 113 cc,which raises it even higher.
I'm planning on running all forged parts,but I don't want to throw any of it out the engine block.:boxing:
