So he was correct in the clearance part.

I used a CR calculator and IIRC, it was 7.5:1. All the dimensions I have are correct but the one I searched and wasn't 100% was the 90cc combustion chamber size. I too figured it would bump .20 by the calculator.

Now I have to decide if I want the bump or not....it would have a slightly better off-boost response but probably would not make up for the extra cylinder pressure on-boost.
