10.2 : 1 compression 360 at sea level. Options?

Mopar Sam said
I had a 4 row radiator with an electric fan and it ran cool. I was working construction and p.t a lot of miles on it. At the time it was our only vehicle. 100 plus miles a day and a lot of 6 day weeks. I roe it in winter and the brutal summer heat. Ran it almost 6 years that way. I had kb107 pistons and had rhoads lifters on that 280 cam, so it acted smaller at lower revs. Over the years i have learned not to fear a little compression.

Interesting. I guess you need to take a grain of salt with everything you hear on the forums. From what I read 9.5 was the limit for open chambered iron heads and medium cam. I'll give it a shot as is with a better radiator fan and hopefully a closed air system hood scoop with race gas/ premium gas mix and just keep lowering the octane until it becomes an issue...
