My engine has zero deck pistons and 516 heads.
Could someone give me a close guess what my compression would be.
Hope to run 91 octane!
 
Huge lack of info here but enough to say probably no to 91 octane. 10:1 plus on a 361 or 383. 11:1 on a 413-440
 
Zero Deck .030 over, 7cc notch pistons, .020 steel head gasket...10.5 .039 head gasket 10.1. thats with no milling on the heads
 
You may have an idea what your static compression ration is, but the dynamic compression ratio is more important. What cam are you using, how is it timed, etc,etc...

What is your engine?

Probably the only possible zero deck would be a 383
