    300 HPDI modified compression ratio

    I've been reading up on safe compression. It seems as though most say 145 psi is safe and 150+ is not on pump gas. I checked mine today on a 2005 300 HPDI and it's 125 psi. What are folks running on these 300's safely?

    I think 135 is good on 89+ and 155 is good on 91+ octane... But I'm not 100% sure.

    My recreation heads on a 300 are around 140. I was told by H-T to run 89 octane. I ran a tank of 91 real gas, actually think it ran slower. I could probably change heat range on the plugs and gain a little, not enough to really pay for itself.
