I am rebuilding for pump gas and the CR will be 9.8:1. I have 72cc heads. What do the specs for your pistons say?

Not neccesarily. I've heard it said that you could possibly go as high as 10:1 with iron heads and higher yet with AL. It's second hand info. I can't verify by personal experience. The general rule of thumb is 9.5 is the breakpoint for comfort. Evide
