Sportsman II 72cc heads

I am unsure if i should buy the 64cc or the 72cc heads. The pistons will be stock 4 valve relief. The stock L98 are 64cc i think that will give me a 9.4 CR correct? If i went with the 72cc the CR would drop down to 8 CR or so right? This engine will be NA. I want to run pump gas.

Go with the 64cc heads.At 9:4.1 you will still be able to run pump fuel.The 72cc heads would drop your CR and kill some power,and being as you are running NA all the compression you can keep will help.

Thats what i thought it would be. Looks like the heads will be a pass. If anyone is interested there are a set of 72cc's on ebay for $260.
