Kirby, don't sweat the compression. I've been running 10:1 with A-3 heads & an
SVO hydraulic cam for 8 years with no ping- on 87 octane weed-killer they call
"gasoline" in California! Rule-of-thumb says you can run an extra 1/2 point of
C.R with alloy heads, and another 1/2 or so with a radical cam which reduces
the pumping pressure @ low rpms. Best guess: you're OK with that combo, guy! J
