Default compression ratio-pump gas

I have a 355 sbc with 10.5 flat tops. It previously detonated when I ran some old steel 64cc turbo Chevy heads, #340292. We replaced them with a set of 68cc AFR alum heads with 180 runners and the detonation went away. I don't know if it was more from the larger chambers or the alum head material, but I suspect it was more from the aluminum since it dissipates heat better. It's may be easier and cheaper to swap heads than pistons. JMO Mep
