I’m ordering rotating assembly for my Teksid block build. I’m going to run the KB 2.8LC MAMMOTH. I’m not sure what compression ratio to go with I was considering 8.5/1 or 9.1/1 ratio. Please help.

Depends on the goals for the car. Higher compression invites more power basically speaking.

good idea to speak to the blower company, they should be able to steer you in the right direction on compression.
