y7/y8 mini me upgrades

No need to lower the compression for a straight Y8/Y7 mini-me unless you're adding boost.
Decreasing the C/R by swapping pistons generally means you'll be using pistons with a dish so the likelihood of smacking a valve is low. Now unless you're using some bad ass cam you shouldn't have to clay. But you can always be better safe than sorry.
