I'm not the one looking for the flat top pistons, but the answer was in the
original message. MORE POWER due to a HIGHER COMPRESSION RATIO. Yes, it may
add some wear on the engine, but not much. Moreover, though, a different cam
profile, and/or carburation/ etc. performance stuff may be added to take
advantage. Premium gas will be a must.
