You'll be fine, it will be more tolerant of gas. With the extra cubes the engine will brathe better, remember before these newer heads people were making alot of power on 9 to 9.5:1 compression and 10:1 was pushing it with pump gas. (really pushing it)

might be a little soft on the bottom. i would have got my DCR up where it needed to be.
