I did some calculations and found that the difference in volume of the
2 gaskets is about 1.9cc. Calculating backward using 496.8cc per cylinder
(gotten from bore x bore x pi/4 x stroke) gets the following volumes for
standard CRS:
8.7:1 57.1cc
9.3:1 53.4cc
10.5:1 47.3cc

57.1 - 1.9 = 55.2cc
498.6/55.2 = 9.0:1

So you gain a little but not much! (Note that 55.2 is just about halfway
between 57.1 and 53.4)
