Again Techinspector1 is correct. Several years ago Bruce Crower
built a SB Chevy with 14.8:1 compression ratio and ran it on 87 octane fuel. The engine ran ok but he didn't achieve any gains in horsepower of fuel economy. Increasing compression ratio yields a diminishing return: The higher you go, the less percentage increase in performance you will get.

How did you get hooked on cars?
