Pro Chargers seem to like 9:1, 112 LSA. What are you planning to use, hydraulic, solid, flat tappet, roller ?

THis is not a suggestion. Just a WAG and see how close i am to those more experienced in a combo like this.
240, 248 112 lsa
maybe 240, 250 112lsa

What dish size (in cc), and how far down in the hole are the pistons? You may not have the CR you think.
