Can I get any ideas on how I might be able to raise or lower compression ratio? I know the heads will have an effect on it. But I was wonder if there are other possibilitys?
Thx.

Longer rods, flat top or domed pistons. Have the block decked and/or shave the heads.

Nope

Compression is a direct relation between the head and the piston at TDC. The only way to change it is by deck height, piston dish, or both.
