Bruiser, your pistons would almost have to be domed for that kind of CR with those large chamber heads....or are they?

HeadDoctor, one of those cams you suggested for me, the 274XE, is the cam I already have. I need either more cam or better heads...or both. I would have thought that the heads I have, with the 1.94/1.60 valves, would be good enough for at least low 12's...maybe not. Would I get more HP just by switching to a solid cam with similiar specs?
