What is the max compression ratio for a pump gas iron headed Olds   I've have been told 9.5 on the low and as high as 10.75

It depends, there are a few factors but let just say 11.1.  I have seen 12.1 work but outside temp was low.   At the point of 10.1 you really want to use some sort of additive.

Somewhat depends on cam shaft selection and what is available as "pump gas".

I have always considered 10.5:1 as the upper.

I'm looking at the Schneider baby solid flat  its 248-254 @ .050  .528 lift on a 108    I would like to be at or as close to 10.5 as I can  without having to spike the gas with race fuel
