Hey guys,

 

I haven't done a compression test, and this is a completely stock cylinder, stock crank, and no porting.

 

I'm at 4000' and climb to 5000'+.

 

Noss gives this reference chart for dome sizing.

 

-----Sea Level 1000' 2000' 3000' 4000' 5000' -----altitude

18cc----197----178---171---170---165---145 -----PSI

19cc----183----167---160---158---152---137

20cc----169----156---149---146---140---129

21cc----156----145---138---134---128---121

stock---130----125---118---112---106---100

 

 

I want to hear off the top of your head what size dome you think I would be safe running on pump premium.

 

I'm thinking about either 19's or 20's. But I don't want to have to do too much trial and error.

 

Thanks

I went with the 20cc because 155 is about the point you mix race/pump fuel. With the 20's you have a significant improvement in compression over stock and no worries over fuel quality variance or elevation changes in contrast to the 19's which are right at the upper range of compression.

 

My $.02.
