smithers584 is an unknown quantity at this point
ill try to make this simple as possible. you need to know what you want to do with the motor before you build it. higher compression means more power w/ a n/a motor. lower compression for a boosted car is better do to the forced induction, more volume coming from the turbo. 8.5 to 1 would be rather sluggish w/o a turbo, but is ideal for boosting. either stay n/a and raise your compression or go boosted and lower your compression. high volume in a small cylinder means high compression. the same amount of volume in a bigger cylinder has lower compression. if you dont know what you want i wouldnt do anything until you do.
