Re: 8.1:1 CR?
I'm running 9.0 Arias D16a6 pistons in my ZC which yields around a 7.8~7.9ish and I must say it sucks ***. I have to run 20~22ish psi before the car even feels alive at all. The thing was faster and funner to drive with stock pistons running 12psi.

Invest in ARP headstuds too. Probably more important than the gasket itself
I recalculated the c/r and since I had the head milled I will be at around 8.6:1 so maybe I'll go with a stock HG after all. I am still undecided though.
