Default 6.0 Compression ?'s
A friend of mine is going to be running 6.0. What compression is the motor going to have with 241 heads compared to the stock 317 heads. He has stock pistons.

Thanks for the help.

pistons. lq4 have a ~6.6 dish, lq9 are flat tops. that will effect the compression.

The pistons do have a dish in them. Will the compression be over 10.1 you think?
