This means the engine will have lower compression than the stock 261.
The 261 head's large chamber volume is partially contained in the exhaust pocket. Without a custom piston there is no way to get a compression dome.


With pop-off valves tuned for 10 pounds of boost wouldn't a tight quench area lead to detonation on pump gas? Seems they built it with a lower static compression by design.
