at that boost 9.3:1 will be fine providing the tune is good.
If you ever have to take the head off, use a thinner AU gasket and rework the chambers slightly and drop it back to about 9.1:1 the tighter squish will help stop detonation just as much as the lower comp will. word of warning though, don't use thicker gaskets/head shims to drop compression. it opens the squish up to much |

What sort of tuning are you going to use???
Tune saves engines... Imo no more than 9 to 1...

t_6 whadaya mean by 'squish'?
piston deck clearance, overall compression? something else.

he's refering to the distance from the piston to the head, the smaller the gap the more turbulance is created, and the charge is directed into the chamber near the plug, promoting better burning and lesser chance of detonation...
without actually doing too much reshaping work, you can still safely remove 1-1.5cc on a 4l head, and about 2-3cc on a 3.9 head with the swirl ridge.

remembering also, most 4valve heads have basically zero squish pad area, and, without back to back, real world testing on your particular chamber, you wont know whether youve done good or bad with regards to squish area's and chamber shapes.
there comes a point when chasing big power, where the squish pads start to work againts you, causing more detonation, things like sharp edges become hot spots, this is where a hemi chamber is the best. {USERNAME} wrote: not like we are talking huge changes. just slight touch up and deshroud valves a little
thats the sort of work i was refering to with regards to the amount of cc's to be gained, 1.5cc is a fair bit of meat and is about what you can get out without too much trouble

The correct or another term is quench . Opening up the chambers on the outer edges of valves is a good way to lower comp as it's bassically relieving valve which increases flow... Quench is not such a big deal with forced induction as it is with hi po n/a engine... But the idea is to get one big flame front and not many, as this causes detonation... Note the 351m / 400m motor in the States is notorious for detonation yet it has approx 8.5 compression and Clevo style open chamber heads.. The main reason for bad detonation?? The piston is designed to be way down bore .. The fix to this was to fit pistons with pin height lower essentually bringing piston closer to deck. Even though it raised compression it prevented detonation...
