raising comprssion?

I am planning on getting some EF-1 cams, but I was also wanting to raise the compression. What is the best way to go about doing this?
Thanks

you can buy high compression pistons, mill the head, or/and use a thinner head gasket from my knoledge.

you could mill the head, run a thinner head gasket, and valves designed to raise your compression

valves is a good way that is often forgotten about. You could have your combustion chambers welded, but I don't recommend that either. The best way I believe is with higher compression pistons. As long as the dome isn't much taller than a CTR it doesn't effect the flame front too much.
