Is this guy full of it? (LS6 heads compression)

Someone told me the other day he was pretty sure that adding stock LS6 heads to a stock LS1 motor would subtract compression. Now I was 99% sure it would ADD compression.

Was I mistaken or is this guy full of it?

you'll go UP from 10.1 to 10.5, not down.
