so if the the compression wont be raised much would it still be fine to run a s/c on it?

You will be fine, if you are shooting around stock static compression.

I used the 10682-030 Probe pistons.

I am going off memory. I did it to keep me around stock compression at the time.

ponyboy302 - It uses larger pistons. Stock crankshaft and rods though!

I got mine from Rick @ www.rnhperformance.com.

He will rebuild for you as well.
