some say 10.5:1, most say 10.4:1. Never heard 10.3:1 though.

I had my heads plained beacuse a piston went adn i think that would raise the compression......But i also had the cyl bored .030 over so wont that basically balance out the difference?

BTW what type of gas is the bare minimum that i can get away with?

10.5:1 is the correct ratio.

I read somewhere that the 94 was 10.5 but every other year LT1 was 10.4. That was just what i read and im not sure how accurate it is.
