Stock is 9.0 to 1
AFR 72cc chambers would drop it to 8.12 to 1

I saw dyno test with this blower, the XE274 cam and AFR185 heads and it made 508hp. The problem is, they don't say what octane fuel they used or what compression for that matter. Depending on the head they used at the time, I believe the compression would have been around 9.0 to 1 or just shy of 10.0 to 1
