Pistons to raise Compression Ratio

That is good to know. I am having the deck shaved a bit, and I noticed quite a few choices in gasket thickness available from most parts places. I think I'll keep the stock dish pistons and go from there.

Probably the best idea, you'll get close to 9.5:1 with a little shaving and a thinner head gasket, but it's just not worth investing a bunch of money for a little compression bump
