[T3] Compression Ratio Recommendations


I have the short block together for Sophy's new engine and am starting to
measure the deck heights and such.  What do you all think is a good
compression ratio to shim to?

Vitals:

Stock rebuild
1600cc
dual port, dual carbs
stock cam and lifters
I run 92 octane gas right now and would in the future
Combustion Chamber Volumes
#1 50.0cc
#2 50.8cc
#3 49.0cc
#4 49.0cc

I am assuming that I can shim the left and right banks separately to
compensate for the difference in chamber volumes and that the 0.8cc
difference is minor.

Thanks for any advice.
