The combustion chamber of the 3.2 head is such that it nets an 11:1 CR factory, when you go up in displacement with that same size chamber without a specially prepared piston CR can see 14:1!!
This is why I started with a 996 3.6, that and the ability to have the newer vane type VarioCam and VarioCam Plus.

CC'ing the heads with the JE pistons yields 12.8:1 for me.
