Only answer you are going to get on that one is probably from a builder

On our race gas 443 cub we ran 20cc & 21cc domes. The quad was competitive with a heavy stock frame (320 lbs.) & a heavy rider (210-220 lbs.), it ran low 3.90s & was faster with a lighter rider. It was run on Q16 race fuel the majority of the time.

 

It's first & only time at Gilbert, LA. It made the semi-finals in 426-525cc heads-up class against chassis/alky bikes. It also, made the semis in the bracket class & went a bunch of rounds in an index class.

cc isnt as important as squish.

 

you could run 30cc and have .30 tho squish clearance and it will smoke all the time..

 

try a 20-19cc dome  flat top profile in the bowl, 8-9mm squish band and at least 48 tho of clearance. id personally step it up to 52-58 and or even 60 on gas.  if you can  try a set of differnt squish.  the higher squish will let it rev to the moon and run all day on lesser fuels.  but i like motors that stay together.  not just dyno stars

camatv brings up some good points! While dome cc is important, there are other factors as he has brought up.

 

We ran our cub with squish tighter than camatv's recommendations. Our 7mm revved to the moon, stayed together, wasn't a dyno star, but didn't run on lesser fuels. The OP stated race fuel, there are many different ways to set the domes up for that.

 

Does that make camatv, or I, right or wrong with our opinion. We both use what works for our applications. Many different ways to skin a cat.

 

IMO, your best bet is to have a known builder design/machine custom domes for your application.
