use more descriptive thread titles, geez.
i'd use the 193s.

well, if you bolt up the 882s, you won't have to unbolt anything to drop the heads off (or get to work, if you're doing them yourself) and there will be zero downtime when they're ready to bolt back on, too.
i say bolt 'em up (882), worry about the 193s when the time comes.

The 882s are 76cc heads unless they've been milled. The 193 swirlport heads are 64cc. If your motor had the 193s on it originally, 882 heads will seriously decrease the compression ratio. Not too cool...

Unless you have some built engine, in which case, neither head would have a place atop it, you are doing something wrong with the calculator. 10:1 with 882s is close to 11 or so to 1 with the 193s.
