    Is it common to run compression that low with a vintage nitro engine?

    392 Cam

    You also might want to contact Crower.
    If Bruce's notebook is still lying around he has the Grind that BIG ran for years.
    We ran this grind in our 392 and Donovan for years still love that sound 392 on Fuel.
    Was easy on rocker arms and valves and springs.
