Nothing about high compression pistons is overly dangerous. You probably won't be able to run a turbo or a blower, though.

If you want to make sure nothing goes wrong, check for warped heads, replace or grind the valves, replace the head bolts, and don't use cheap head gaskets.

Depends on the cam you choose. You'll be over 10s for sure depending on cam and head gasket choice 11s or 12s is very easy

alright i m goin to use the stock heads.. and the cam 16-233-6 comp cam 260 H i believe thats the # i dont wanna b to high in compression b/c i dont want to have to run premium gas all the time with the prices if u know wut i mean.. thanks guys, but thats wut i'll b using. if i get in the high 10's or 11 but i dont want close to 12 or over lol

With the high CR pistons which you have discussed in previous threads, you'd have to run premium all the time. You will be over 11 and possibly close to 12.
