5.9, max safe compression?

Go 9 go!

Man Was I excited to get the GVOD. I could finally run a decent starter gear. You can run any reasonable rear ratio with one of those, up to say 4.56s. I found 4.88s to be a bit high but 5.38s were beyond my limit,lol
For a streeter, I think too much emphasis is often put on the cam,and engine, at the expense of a good starter gear.
A stock-teener with a 10/1 starter will be ferocious. Throw in a 2800 and look out! And the engine is still stock.Ask me how I know.
A 5.9Magnum? Well, with about a 10/1starter and 2800,and just a tiny roller cam, it will be a destroyer!
Maybe even with a little less starter.
