Compression help?

Will going from 64cc heads to 72cc heads change my compression ratio? I've got a .040 over 350 and I need to drop my compression by at least a half-point, hopefully a full point for a turbo - will this do it? Or am I looking at a piston swap?

Dont quote me but I think the 4cc jump will get you down close to a half point but NO more....

If you use Corel Quattro Pro, or even the dreaded MS Excel, download this file to calculate your compression:

Engine Calculator.xls.

Just plug in your numbers for a quick comparison.
