Flat tops with 76cc heads winds up around 8 or 8.5:1. Will run well on regular and act like most stock 350's. With .060" over should be a nice running small block.

From there, you can probably get up to 9.5:1 depending on what you buy. Big limit is the stock heads, and you probably won't make a ton more power going any higher.

I'm almost done building a 327, .030" over with 291 double hump 62cc heads. Flat tops are calculating at 9.6:1 compression. I'm gonna have to run premium in it.
