Default highest compression for stock bore raptor?

i have seen 13 to 1 but am looking for at least a 14 to 1 piston, preferably more like a 15 to 1.
does anybody know of where i could get one or if it is even made?

I thought that if you shaved the head you would have slack in the cam chain?

there is a certain amount that the tensioner can take up. and it would also change the cam timing slightly.

Ahhh, I see. Are you planning on running it on alky or a nitro/alky blend? Either way, with that much comp., I would definetly get that stud kit from Craycraft.

I raced a raptor with a 14:1 690 "garage built" with a 6 over swingarm and only lost by about 3 bikes. Didnt impress me very much. 16.3:1 is crazy though

Why not go further, 17.5:1 dynamic. Actually 20.5:1 static.

Where can you even get a 13:1 compression piston for a raptor? All I see advertised is 12:1 at the most.
