We got a knee in the chest a lot........ or thrown over the left side of the bike, with a straight leg.
Using the formula on the BadBoyz site, I figured out I have a Cold Cranking Compression of 192.3 on my 96ci SG and 9.27 static compression.
Yes or No on compression release(s)????
Your #s don't add up if you're running the 255s listed in your mods, 255s @ 9.27 = 185 ccp? If you have the heads off I'd install them just for peace of mind since there's so many problems with starters & comps on the new bikes, especially if you actually have 192 ccp. The only way you can come up with 192 ccp is by not adding in any cam on the BigBoyz site, you need to enter a cam or the intake close that your cam has,

I used the chart, 96cu with SE255 cams and got the final figures in the bottom "corrected" box. But, I've been wrong before, so I'll check it again.
Either way, I don't need the CR's from what I've been told here, so I guess it's a non-issue.
Just ran the numbers again and still came up with my original posted numbers......

No but I haven't run it during the hot summer months yet since installing the cams. Just trying to be pro-active. I'll wait and see what happens in July & August and then address any issues.
