At least ask him " Do you know running Skunk2 stage2 cams.. that you'll need a valve train upgrade?? (Valves, Springs and retainers, etc...) "

    Thank you sir ...

    P.S. Al- Found my PR3's so I think they'll be fine if I run a 2 layer headgasket. But whoever said I was running Stage 2 cams? it was just a question

So please do some reading of the basic principles of internal compustion engines before asking if you need high-compression pistons to get your cams to produce power.

    Sorry to confuse you but I already am running aftermarket valvesprings and retainers. enough to hold my lift. Also I said a stock block, never said anything about runnin stock internals on the head. It was just a basic question if I should be running a higher compression with more aggressive camshafts. But thanks I've already done my research and have gotten my answer.
