Default 6.0 Heads=Lower CR?

Just wondering if bolting on a set of 6.0L Heads will lower the Compression Ratio enough to run a ProCharger D1SC....I know you can run one with stock heads....I would just feel better with a lower CR with a stock bottom end.

yeah it will... if you get them with say a 71cc combustion chamber it will drop the CR to about 9.5-6 to 1

yeah, the 71's take it down about .5cc roughly. Like TondSS said, get a thicker head gasket too. Goin from a head gasket that is .05 thick to .06 drops another .2 (9.58 to 9.38 (roughly)
