you might think about smallport/hi comp OEM pistons..

the head gasket will bump static compression about 3 to 4 10ths of a point, so a largeport would go from 9.4 to about 9.75 ish. Swapping in smallport pistons, and adding the head gasket you will be close to 10.6.

If you have good combustion chambers you can use the higher 10.6, if your chambers need de-shrouding, you should stick with the lower compression
