I hafta replace my cylinder head(Dont ask!)Gonna let the dealer do it.I already have MSD,Raptor I/RhinoII cam,exhaust.While the head is being replaced-Wondering about a piston upgrade while the engine is apart.If I put a 11-1 piston in-do I need extra upgrades?New head/cylinder bolts/rods,any weak spot on the 700 motor to consider with a 11-1 piston?Or just slap in the new piston and run with whats there?Any drawbacks to the Hi-comp piston?I dont drag race-just climing & 4 wheelin & I dont know if this matters but I live at 5000'.Lots of questions here-Thanks for any help

Compression is power. 11-1 is great on 91 pump gas, especially at your elevation. port and polish the head for even more power!

I'm running similar setup . Spend the extra money and get the head studs with that piston. I didn't get an hour on my rebuild before my head gasket started leaking.

Thanks Neal-real good to know about the stud upgrade.
