Yes a P&P 243 will flow better than a stock 317.

I guess most of you already know this but just want to make sure.
yes! it will bring your comp Ratio to around 10.5-11.0.
If you going with N.A. Engine it will give you around 25-30more HP.
But if you going with any kinds of FI or SC. You better off getting comp Ratio down to 9.0-9.5

Should be the exact same CR as the LS2, which is a 6.0L with 243 heads. GM says its 10.9:1 and I calculate it out to ~10.95:1.
