Maximum Compression Ratio

So 10:1 static would be a ball park. So what I was wondering is what would be a safe dynamic ratio? There must be a # for any gas engine in general?
Can't give a good answer on that one brother...all my research in building my engine pointed to dynamic compression being the most influential factor. 8ish was the general consensus. Can't remember if that's exclusive to iron head only or aluminum also? I'll defer to the more knowledgable builders........
