If your not planning on going all out dont even bother with anything above 11.5:1. Only go up to 12:1 if you are planning on running some toda b/c or Jun 3 cams. IMO

Pistons get as much carbon build up as the heads combustion chamber. Cabon build up filling in hte pits does not help prevent detonation much it doesnt have enough of an insulating property to keep the pits from heating up therefore causing hotspots same thing appl
Because youre changing the floor shape of the combustion area...which is what you do to the bowls to prevent detonation (change the shape) not just a simple polish job.
As for the carbon deposit who ever said anything about insulation properties? It fills in any small irregularities and helps in conducting heat away from an area. Hell though even without carbon deposits like I said above no single part of the bowl is going to heat up enough to ignite the mixture unless there is some HEAVY gouging resulting in some nasty surface irregularities. If any spot begins to heat up it will dissipate heat to the surrounding area rather than allow the heat to build up in a specific area and detonate the mixture.

and a smoother surface does this much better no one particular place for heat to build up. However before that one place gets to disipate heat more heat is introduced into the equation on the very next compression stroke. As far as insulating properties of carbon goes if it had the same insulating properties as the aluminum then yes carbon could build up in the pits causing smoothness and more even dissipation of heat however because it doesnt have any insulating properties the heat goes right through it causing hot spots in the surface of the metal. Its the same concept why the rollerwaves are so damn smooth and why the edges of the valve reliefs are rounded.
Yet again when did I say anything about insulating properties?
The carbon deposits form a bridge between the minute surface irregularities allowing better heat transfer. And aluminum has very poor heat retention hence the reason its used for heat sinks and not for cook ware (ie: cast iron skillets); And like I said before without them (carbon deposits) it doesnt matter because aluminum dissipates heat well enough for there to not be a heat buildup since the bowls are relatively smooth. The concept behind the roller waves is a change in floor shape AND a reduction of sharp edges which will heat up quickly. There are no sharp edges on the bowl only on the perimeter of the bowl like I stated initially which could be a problem for B20 engines (81mm chamber vs. 84mm bore).

who in the hell cares

build your motor to handle it.
