A blow through at 12 psi? I think your biggest problem will be what carby to use. Anyhow CR down to 7.5:1 should be OK for 12 psi.

PS Normally 4 psi is about the max for blow through carby system so I'd be interested to know what your plans are and what kit you are using.

I once ran 8.1 with water inj and a 'Stromberg 175 CD' carb draw-through at 10 to 14psi worked well.
