Default XR2I 1600 zvh convertion???? HELP!!!!!

Can anyone please tell me if i can 1800 bottom end my cvh 2i, i have been told i may not be able to due to the compression, or would i be better off trying to gain extra power another way. Any help would be great and if anyone knows of anywhere to do the work and any prices would be excellent. Thanks guys!!!!!!

As PJay says.

As standrad using 1800 zetec pistons and a CVH head youll have 8.3:1 CR, whihc is too low for NA use, good for turbo use.

1800 zvhs aint much good anyway...stick with CVH!

So what do we think then just get the cvh re-built. Or get the power with a full on zetec conversion.
