An LQ9 with 317 heads is 10.1:1
An LQ9 with 241 heads is 10.7:1
An LQ9 with 243 heads is 11.1:1
the only diffrence between the 317 and the 243 is chamber size.
ports and valves are the same size, so no loss in flow.

I wouldn't say the 317s and 243s are exactly identical. The 243s flow a tad better up top and they also have a more efficient combustion chamber design.

243 valves are LS6 sodium filed exhaust valves. 317s just get SS.
