bought street motor from bowers 632 c.i. was suppose to have 10.5 compression it has 11.3 is this to much for street?
Other factors come into play, such as the camshaft timing and fuel that you are planning on running. But, IMHO for "street" driving and 93 octane fuel, I would say that it is too much compression.

As I calculate, the overall chamber volume needs to decrease by about 10cc's to get to 10.5:1 and 18cc's to get to 10:1.
