The 194 cylinder head has more compression, but it also has smaller valves, IIRC. I'm in the planning stages of building a high-RPM 230 with NASCAR tool steel connecting rods and three side draft carbs to put in an Excalibur fiberglass roadster. I'm considering destroking that one to get down around 200 cubic inches and increase the RPM capability.
