We do nothing with the compression ratios. OEM is OEM.

I know from first hand experience that propane is quite comfortable at 10.5-11:1. In 1984 I did an L88 427 at 11:1 that maxed my Dyno. It was in the pickup of a man with entirely too much money. Hope this helps.

Actually you may want to google Susan Roush of Roush Racing. We sponser her Mustang.
