Are you asking if changing to 6.0 heads will lower your compression? If so, then yes, they will.

as long as ur pistons wouldnt increase ur compression if u were stock, (i.e. if u put on stock heads with ur pistons ur comp would be stock, 10.1) then with the 6.0l heads u should be able to get it around 9.6-9.5
