Proper Squish clearance

Harry,
I just finish building a 550 motor that runs amazing and starts everytime. But I would like to get a little more out of it. Getting right to the point I would like to properly spec my crush clearance and get it set right on to make the most power I can on 91 octane fuel while still keeping it somewhat safe. I measured .082" crush I believe though I will measure it again before I take it apart. Whats a range that you would recommend on a rec 550?

Re: Proper Squish clearance

Ideal squish for that motor would be .050:-.060".
