Default larged chamber volume you can hit with a 6L head?

Just curious what some of the vendors have hit trying to open up a 6L head for lower compression. What combustion chamber volume have you been able to acheive without negative effects?

Our FI 6.0L chamber displaces 77cc, we run a 5/8" reach taper seat spark plug. It flows a little less on intake and more on the exhaust. It could probably made bigger, we just haven't tried. Hope this helps.

hehe I am really happy with my combo so far

its for a buddy of mine considering FI. He has a forged 346 with flat top pistons with valve reliefs and was wondering if it would be possible to get down to the 8.25-8.5 comp range without a piston change.
