I want as little squish as mechanically possible. The squish are isn't combusts son the smaller you make this area the more charge you burn.
Also when people talk about high compression saw motors they are talking about static compression. The compression ratio of a saw is quit low.

And oil lowering octane isn't cut and dried. Some actually raise octane.
Octane is a measure of a fuels resistance to detonation which isn't the same phenomenon as pre ignition, although one can lead to the other.

Mine likes 14800 with a muffler mod, gasket delete,timing advance and the choke disk ground down.
When it was stone stock it was so gutless the mods I have done are just about required. Not to mention they are free.

I am not sure what the timing numbers are stock, but to me the 160 feels like a motor with too much exhaust timing and too small transfer port duct area.

This is a particularly good factory jug. I've heard of exhausts as high as 95 stock.

This one was 99/124/68.5 gasketless.

With an 020 gasket and the .035 squish I was at 105/121.5/75, no Freeport.

Now with no gasket it's at 107/123/76 and I'm barely freeporting, like .002-3.

There's more info in this thread

And if it feels like a motor with too much exhaust duration and not enough transfer area, you're pretty much dead on accurate. That's why a 346 will generally outperform and 026.

What the exhaust duration for the stock 260?
