It seems that the majority of the input here leans toward 7.1 for the DCR. Me being an extremist (at least I'm aware of it) I look at the article and past posts concerning the 2006 CHICO Engine Builder Show Down and see Pat Downs running just shy of 11.1 and others well over 10.1 on pump gas (91 octane I think?). Searching the web and I also purchased David Vizard's 2010 book "How to Build Horse Power" and he says that a street engine that has cylinders that seal good and runs premium fuel can operate in a range of 190 psi to 200 psi. He goes on to say that if the engine is below 190 psi there are ft-lbs still to be had and above 200 psi you might need to add an octane booster. For my combo (on paper, I am in the mock-up stage) to get 200 psi I would have a SCR of 11.063 and a DCR of  9.53 :1. My cam IVC is 60 and I have to advance the cam one tooth and then retard 4 with the washers to come out with 52 which gives me the 200 psi.
 I understand this is on paper and doesn't mean squat until it is proven by mock-up and measuring. Will this work with an ACVW? 
Am I thinking right?

Since nobody has posted I guess I will.  I am not an expert on the dynamic compression, I just set up my motors knowing static compression.  I have run 9.5:1 with an fk-45 installed straight up, best friend running fk-46 with 9.3:1.  No overheating no detonation.  I ran 28 degress total advance.  143hp 145tq to the wheels.
