5.9, max safe compression?

Well, this is why I jumped in and cut the line sort of to ask the question about cam size in a stock 5.9. It serves myself and perhaps Greg. The engines actual ratio I do not know but the advertised ratio is a 9.0-1, IIRC.

I have a dead stock '00, 5.9 except the 600 AFB, rpm intake, Hooker Super Comps @ 1-3/4 and a chrome box firing a OE distributor of unknown origin. 727/3.55-26'tire.

It is a strong engine and Performer for what it is.

@IQ52 - Jim, thanks for the cam link. That one escaped me. I haven't been seriously looking for a cam for this but I did want to poke around a bit for something for the future.

I've run a similar Crane Hyd cam like that. Good strong daily driver stuff. I don't what kind of power it'll make in my mill, but it should be a nice addition and a make for a good driving experience with it.
