"Bone stock 302" covers quite a bit of ground...

Old carb engine?
HO?
Pre'92 HO or '92-up?

Late Non-HO 5.0?

Explorer 5.0?

Each has different characteristics and tolerance.

compression ratio, cast, hyper-eutectic or forged pistons make a difference...

i would say 8 to 10 is alot, if you have a really good intercooler setup and conservative tuning then maybe, but i wouldnt go past 7 for a DD
