B20 compression ratio 140-160

K cam?

What compression ratio are you starting from?

I would aim to get the squish around .035"-045", with a set of Mahle pistons, that typically requires the B/E head gasket and no block decking. The compression ratio you actually want depends on which cam and what fuel you want to use.
